It's here.Hi KOP,
Do you think the hydrogen down the gas mains is a pipe dream ? (I'm in two minds). Roger B. talks about existence of Pilot schemes.
Cheers,

You make a good point. Have a look round, it's called green hydrogen and more recently turquoise hydrogen. I am not saying it will become a practicality but a lot is being spent on the research.Can someone tell me where all this hydrogen is going to come from, once all natural gas is replaced by hydrogen?
It's not as if this gas is waiting to be pumped out of the ground. It needs to be produced using electricity and there isn't going to be enough for this + electric vehicles.
The designation brown, grey, green, turquoise are all due to their method of production. I am a simple observer not an advocate. It seems to me that there's plenty of hydrogen around and a lot of money being spent getting the hydrogen to the right place. Gas is here to stay, what that gas is, may change, hydrogen blend is being looked at, hard.I've heard of grey and blue, grey being H2 manufactured from CH4 using steam reformation. In all cases, electricity is needed.
I forgot to mention the additional electricity needed to power all the heat pumps that are supposed to be installed. Not a lot per heat pump but a lot of heat pumps.
I think gas is here to stay for many many years to come.
I'm not an expert. All I did was summarise [EDIT - and translate from the original Italian] what was written in a newspaper article. Bit more effort than cutting and pasting to be honest. Glad you found it interesting though.the wonders of cut and paste...makes everyone an instant expert LOL
