<p>Transforming our heating system is one of the most difficult decarbonisation challenges
facing the country. A range of technologies have potential to contribute to this,
including heat networks, heat pumps, hydrogen and biogas. However, it is not yet clear
which approaches will work best at scale.</p><p> </p><p>In relation to hydrogen, the
HyDeploy projects, funded by OFGEM, are looking to demonstrate the safety case for
blending up to 20% hydrogen into the grid. Further work is also needed to better understand
the potential for using hydrogen to fully replace methane in parts of the gas grid.
Several relevant projects relevant to this are currently underway. These include projects
run by gas network operators, and the £25m BEIS-funded Hy4Heat programme, which is
investigating the feasibility of using hydrogen for heating in residential and commercial
buildings.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
