As the UK increases deployment of net zero technologies, gas demand is anticipated to fall significantly. Some gas networks may be repurposed, with projects like Project Union developing a hydrogen transmission backbone. SIF funds hydrogen projects to assess future applications. In this Bright Spark episode, SIF's Beth Foster visits FutureGrid at DNV Spadeadam, Cumbria, where research on hydrogen transport and blending supports full-scale conversion.Links:National Gas Future Grid: www.nationalgas.com/future-energy/futuregridFor more on the Strategic Innovation Fund: www.ofgem.gov.uk/sifSee the SIF programme page on Innovate UK, Business Connect website: Ofgem Strategic Innovation Fund
