Although, for completeness, I read somewhere they are only going for 20%max hydrogen, so I guess the petroleum gas burners will cope unreconverted. Only 20% less carbon emissions; but, as Tesco says.....
nice top for me thanks mms. :-)
S740 is in agreement with me. Hydrogen is not a mass rollout to all in the next 10 years. It'll take a couple of decades if not longer.
p.s. Anyone bought a hydrogen hob or hydrogen gas fire?
But, as I said, what's that to UJO?
Yes it was hydrogen typically over 50%, CH4 over 25%, CO over 5%, less other hydrocarbons: even less some gases CO2, nitrogen, which would exit unburnt. While these latter would reduce calorific yield, hydrogen is so light that the yield per volume (rather than mass; it was sold per cu.ft.) must be less.
Like petroleum "natural" gas the composition was variable, but there were no valuable byproducts to justify refining coal gas, unlike the other alkanes in "natural" gas.
The proportion of hydrogen made the gas so buoyant, that schoolboys could inflate condoms (not so-named then) and they would stick firmly to a school hall ceiling. With the new gas they were much less buoyant, and would sometimes drift down during assemblies, an improvement in our view.

Hydrogen. Humber . Hydrogen. Gas = hydrogen.
But we must not forget the Oil. 70$ in coming. Very bullish.
"mains gas which was mostly hydrogen."
No it was Coal gas - a rather nasty mix of " hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane, ethylene and volatile hydrocarbons together with small quantities of non-calorific gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen". It was the CO that enabled people to commit suicide by sticking their heads in the oven. The calorific value (potential heat content) was much much lower than the "natural" gas imported from N Africa and then the N Sea - that's why all the burners had t o be replaced
Gkb47, please read what I said before responding.
I don't doubt for a minute that we will be using Hydrogen in our lives imminently, what I said was that we won't be getting it through the gas main. It is true that there is a trial on this in Fife next year, personally I do not believe that it will be successful, the Gateshead trial is using bottled Hydrogen. The safe and easiest from an infrastructure point of view is to convert water into Hydrogen at the point of need. Japan has passed 300,000 appliances powered by a domestic fuel cell. I have already mentioned the Nikola solution for vehicle Hydrogen power.
Quite frankly, if they sell West Newton, I couldn't give a wotsy who takes it.
On that note. Goodnight.
What's Hydrogen to UJO, or should you say what's that to a 'buyer' of West Newton ?
A massive gas find, with AA carbon intensity study in place , in the Zero Carbon Humber region with the future plans in place for carbon capture and hydrogen , Keady, Saltend, COP26 and climate targets.
Like selling flip flops in Spain - the perfect fit. Mister Fawlty, I come from Barcelona.
#had to, not has.
I recall that, to the end of the 60s, homes and businesses received mains gas which was mostly hydrogen. To change to one which was mostly methane, all appliances has to be "converted" with different burner jets. I therefore assume a large proportion of hydrogen could not be re-introduced without re-conversion.
However, what's that to UJO?

Interesting tweet today.

Is this the Greta and XR board, I invested in ujo for oil and gas, if anything else helps the sp that’s fine, but let’s get some oil and gas into production, before we go completely green...
National Grid brings energy to life by getting heat, light and power to people’s homes and businesses. We’re also at the heart of a revolution to create a greener energy future and are committed to reducing our own direct greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050, in line with the UK’s overall target.
Gas underpins the journey to net zero. It generates the least carbon of all fossil fuels while providing more than 80% of Britain’s homes and businesses with a secure and reliable source of heat and power. By delivering a reliable base to meet the nation’s energy demand, it enables increasing innovation and growth of cleaner, but more intermittent, renewable energy sources. In the long term to 2050, we are looking to deliver low-carbon gas transmission through biogas and hydrogen.
Led by Northern Gas Networks, the gas distributer for the North of England, H21 has already proved conversion of the existing gas grid to carry 100% hydrogen is technically possible and economically viable, through the 2016 H21 Leeds City Gate report.
The design incorporates a 12.15GW steam reforming of methane to hydrogen production facility, 8TWh of inter-seasonal storage, all associated onshore infrastructure and the requirements of the associated carbon capture and storage scheme, scaling to 20 million tonnes per annum by 2035.
All this talk of hydrogen is pie in the sky right now.
We can't even complete a EWT which was promised almost 2 years ago.
Let's see what there is and then start pontificating about Hydrogen.
At the moment we know daddy squat. The only plus point for me is that GC have been commissioned to undertake the CPR - big hitters in the biz and big killers! I don't think they would be commissioned if there wasn't some confidence.
In the meantime I'm not chasing my tail about Hydrogen - kryptonite, maybe ??
Happy Daze and GLTA !!!!!!!
