Natural Gas: Hydrogen

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will take steps to ensure that hydrogen blending into the gas grid does not lead to higher gas bills for households and industry.

Answer

The Government is building evidence to determine if blending meets the required safety standards and represents value for money, which will be essential for blending to be enabled. The Government is working closely with Ofgem and industry to explore options for a future billing methodology that could fairly incorporate hydrogen blends, protecting consumers in the process.
