New research facility is testing Hydrogen energy in homes...

The video explores a sophisticated hydrogen testing facility near the England-Scotland border, aiming to demonstrate the feasibility of using hydrogen in existing gas networks to combat climate change. Engineers are testing the safety and behavior of pipelines as they transition from natural gas to hydrogen. The site, resembling a typical High Street, is a testbed for future hydrogen use in homes. Despite its potential to reduce carbon emissions, challenges remain, such as the current reliance on grey hydrogen and the need for investment in green hydrogen. The role of hydrogen in achieving net zero is still being determined.
