El Gobierno del Reino Unido está estudiando la posibilidad de cambiar algunos hogares del gas natural al hidrógeno para ayudar al país a alcanzar las emisiones netas de carbono cero. Wales & West Utilities encargó a Energy Systems Catapult la realización de un proyecto para entender cómo permitir que esta transición funcione bien para los consumidores vulnerables, si se lleva a cabo.

To do this, Energy Systems Catapult engaged with a series of industry experts and reviewed the available evidence. This helped to understand what a transition of domestic properties from natural gas to hydrogen is likely to entail for consumers, and what steps should be considered to enable the transition to go well. Once the process was defined, we then engaged with consumers in a variety of vulnerable situations to discuss any challenges the proposed process may present to them. In understanding these challenges, the project then sought to further engage with both a range of experts and vulnerable consumers to co-create appropriate packages of support to preserve wellbeing during a transition to hydrogen.
