EPRI Sees Hydrogen As Incremental Step To Decarbonizing Natural Gas Use

The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) is saying that hydrogen blended with natural gas to fuel building furnaces and water heaters could offer a decarbonized alternative to electrification in some regions, suggesting a limited alternative to electrification that some fear could lead to stranded gas assets. “Delivering hydrogen blended with natural gas via existing gas pipeline networks could play an important role in certain regions where building space and water heating is more difficult or costly to electrify. These applications...
