The project focuses on clean energy production using hydrogen, which aligns with the goal of reducing technical risks in converting the gas grid to hydrogen.
The Hydrogen Decentralised Energy Utilisation and Storage (HYDERUS) project will develop and demonstrate a zero-carbon combined heat and power (CHP) system, integrating renewable and low-carbon hydrogen production, deliv...

The HYDERUS project specifically addresses the conversion of the gas grid to hydrogen, focusing on decentralised energy utilisation and storage, which aligns with the question's goal of reducing technical risks in this conversion process.
ITM is embarking on a project, assisted by the Technology Strategy Board and other funding collaborators, which will result in a technical specification and model for a hydrogen gas storage and injection scheme, based on...
