The objectives being;• To determine the viability from both a
technical and economic viewpoint of constructing the first 100%
Hydrogen network.
Three feasibility studies that will run concurrently
Phase 1
Method
Study one Levenmouth, FifeStudy twoMACC Developments Ltd, Machrihanish AirbaseStudy threeAberdeen conference Centre, Aberdeen
All three studies will have the same scope but will be conducted in different locations with very
different existing and potential network features.• To develop the safety case,
compliance framework and safe systems of work necessary to design, construct and operate
the first H2 distribution network.

• H100 Pilot Project – green hydrogen to 300 homes
• ‘Green Hydrogen’ – to replace blue hydrogen over time (several decades)
• Offshore wind will enable green hydrogen at scale
• ‘Blue Hydrogen’ - natural gas plus SMR and CCS to provide UK clean energy ‘bridge’
