Construction completes at world-first green gas network
Construction of the world’s first domestic hydrogen gas network has been completed by energy distribution company SGN in Levenmouth, Scotland.
Green hydrogen gas will be created at a local 7MW offshore wind turbine to flow through the new 8.4km network when it is operational in 2025.
Residents living in the Levenmouth area of Fife will then have the option of joining Scotland’s first green hydrogen community by signing up to SGN’s H100 Fife trial.
The project is providing evidence to inform future low-carbon policy decisions for Scotland and the UK, which are expected in 2026.
In a statement H100 Fife distribution manager Max Biret said: “I’m thrilled to announce the completion of our green gas network. Having this new network in place means we can start converting customers to green hydrogen once our production and storage site is ready next year. We’re still welcoming more customers to join if you live in the network area. We’ll support you every step of the way through your energy transition.”
SGN said it is upskilling gas engineers to enable them to connect the homes taking part in the trial to the new hydrogen gas mains. The company is also partnering with Fife College to open the UK’s first hydrogen training facility later early next year. Existing Gas Safe engineers will be trained at the facility on how to fit new hydrogen appliances.
SMART Utilities construction manager Stuart Russell and his team installed the new network and will be connecting homes to it when it goes live. He said: “I was born and bred in Fife and feel very proud to be delivering this world first green energy project for the local community. I’m delighted to see that so many local people have taken the opportunity to be part of this first of its kind decarbonisation scheme.”
