| Abstract | "Switching our homes and businesses from carbon-emitting natural gas to hydrogen is one of the ways we can decarbonise our energy system. However, consumers will be affected in different ways by the change-over to hydrogen, with some domestic consumers and small businesses being at greater risk and more vulnerable to the change than others.Hy-Fair will identify and quantify the needs for more tailored support, and then develop and trial the innovative social and technological solutions required to make the hydrogen transition work for everyone.The project will pave the way for an inclusive hydrogen transition. In doing so, the delivery of hydrogen infrastructure will work for everyone first-time, avoiding expensive rework and helping businesses invest in required process and technology changes ahead of time.The project will incorporate a novel approach to direct engagement with potential hydrogen consumers via a Community Impact Panel (CIP) which will provide Customers in Vulnerable Situations (CIVS) and businesses an opportunity to present their needs to ensure requirements are captured. The project will also deliver novel solutions to community engagement, including digital engagement tools, and uncover previously unknown areas for future innovation that the hydrogen transition will need to consider when supporting marginalized sections of society.
