Recently, US scientists presented research into using hydrogen blended with methane (natural gas) to bridge the energy gap and achieve carbon neutrality. Many industrial operators see the strategy as being a first step towards the US meeting its net-zero emissions target without having to compromise on energy security.
It is worth mentioning that most existing, installed process heat and space heat and power generation systems can safely convert to hydrogen blending of up to 20%. Similarly, there are already products available that enable on-site hydrogen blending.
This means that the technology is already here. However, what is needed is for the on-site hydrogen blending technology to go mainstream, and this means making it financially viable for the broader market.
