Abstract
Low carbon hydrogen can be used to decarbonise industrial processes, to provide heat, for transport and for electricity production. Production of hydrogen through electrolysis using renewable energy is a way of using up excess renewable energy and the hydrogen can be stored and used later during periods of peak demand. Cadent is developing a 100% hydrogen pipeline network in the East Midlands and South Yorkshire to connect clusters of potential hydrogen users and producers. This project will investigate options for medium and large-scale storage of hydrogen to enable the flexible use of hydrogen in the region.
