HyDeploy

Injecting hydrogen into existing natural gas networks, allowing for a gradual transition to cleaner energy sources without immediate infrastructure overhauls.

Keele University is developing a multi-energy-vector smart energy network demonstrator where new energy-efficient technologies can be researched, developed, and tested.

Systems that use electricity to provide heating and cooling, which are becoming more prevalent with electrification but can strain the grid.

A trial project to inject hydrogen into an existing natural gas network at Keele University, blending up to 20% hydrogen (by volume) with natural gas to test whether this approach can reduce carbon emissions from heat without requiring customers to change appliances or behavior.

US Department of Energy initiative aimed at reducing the cost of zero- and low-carbon hydrogen production.

Systems used in California for backup energy solutions during emergencies like wildfires.

Boilers designed to run on natural gas and capable of converting to 100% hydrogen after an engineer visit.

Domestic heating boilers designed to be compatible with hydrogen fuel, proposed as part of the UK's net-zero strategy with potential mandates for all new boilers to be hydrogen-ready by 2026.
