The promise of HyDeploy is to establish the level of hydrogen blending that can be safely used in the gas network and in appliances without disruption to users. A key part of the laboratory testing and the onsite safety checks is to confirm that appliances operate as normal. Therefore, during the live trial at the permitted blend level, the gas delivered should work in your appliances in the same way as it does today.
In a live trial, will I notice any difference to the way my appliances work with a blend of hydrogen and natural gas?
