Proposal reportedly mooted for inclusion in Hydrogen Strategy, but campaigners warn low carbon hydrogen should be earmarked for decarbonising heavy industry rather than domestic heating. Proponents argue shifting the UK's methane gas grid to run on hydrogen can help the UK hit net zero targets by using existing infrastructure.
