The replacement of fossil fuels by green energy is bringing about a revolution in electricity generation and expanding its role across economies. The modern grid will encounter some typical challenges associated with renewable energy. The concerted push to promote clean energy must be underpinned by state-of-the-art power grids.

Gas companies have been lobbying the government to grant a significant role to hydrogen during the transition away from fossil fuels. They argue that adapting the existing network to run on a blend of natural gas and hydrogen – or building new hydrogen-powered grids – will help meet climate goals. Lobbying Efforts.
