The Future of Gas
This course provides a foundational overview of the UK’s transition from methane-based natural gas to hydrogen, highlighting its significance in achieving net-zero carbon emissions. Learners will gain insight into why change is necessary, how hydrogen compares to methane, and what technological, regulatory, and operational transformations are underway within the gas sector. The course explores key hydrogen pilot projects, safety considerations, and what this shift means for customers, infrastructure, and the workforce.
At the end of this course, learners will have understood:
- The environmental and policy-based motivations behind the transition from methane to hydrogen
- The chemical and physical differences between methane and hydrogen and what this means for energy use
- The role of hydrogen in decarbonising heat and its potential benefits in the UK energy system
- The current state of hydrogen trials and pilot projects in the UK gas industry
- Infrastructure requirements and the role of hydrogen-ready networks and appliances
- The regulatory frameworks and safety standards evolving to support hydrogen deployment
- The potential impact on consumers, including costs, equipment changes, and awareness needs
- The importance of industry innovation and collaboration in achieving a hydrogen-enabled future
