Hydrogen in the energy mix: Futuregrid at DNV Spadeadam

Proponents of hydrogen say it's a crucial part of a future energy mix, and a vital tool to help achieve UK net zero. The SIF funds a range of hydrogen projects to test, assess and demonstrate their future application. For this episode of Bright Spark, SIF's Beth Foster visited FutureGrid at DNV Spadeadam, just south of Hadrian's Wall in Cumbria. FutureGrid is working to create insights into hydrogen transportation and blending – to support the full-scale conversion to hydrogen.
