SGN's H100 Fife Project: Pioneering Green Hydrogen Network Installation
Key Ideas
  • SGN's completion of the world's first domestic hydrogen gas network in Levenmouth marks a significant milestone in the H100 Fife project.
  • The green hydrogen gas, produced from renewable electricity, will provide zero carbon heating for residents, offering a similar user experience to natural gas.
  • The project aims to gather critical evidence for future low-carbon policy decisions in Scotland and the UK, with expected outcomes in 2026.
  • SGN is actively engaging with the community, upskilling gas engineers, and partnering with Fife College to open the UK's first hydrogen training facility.
Energy distribution company SGN has achieved a major feat by completing the construction of the world's first domestic hydrogen gas network in Levenmouth as part of the H100 Fife project. This innovative network will deliver green hydrogen gas, generated using renewable electricity from a local offshore wind turbine, to provide zero carbon heating for residents. Participants in the H100 Fife project will have the option to join Scotland's first green hydrogen community, experiencing carbon-free heating and cooking. The project not only offers environmental benefits but also aims to shape future low-carbon policy decisions in Scotland and the UK by 2026. SGN's distribution manager, Max Biret, expressed excitement over the green gas network's completion, highlighting the teamwork and cooperation that made it possible. The network will enable the conversion of customers to green hydrogen, ensuring a smooth energy transition for the community. Additionally, SGN is investing in upskilling gas engineers and collaborating with Fife College to establish a hydrogen training facility, aiming to train engineers on fitting new hydrogen appliances. The H100 Fife project represents a significant step towards decarbonization, with SMART Utilities playing a crucial role in installing the hydrogen network. The project not only showcases the potential of green hydrogen but also emphasizes community engagement and the importance of training for a successful energy transition.
