World's First Domestic Green Hydrogen Network Completed in Fife
Key Ideas
  • SGN completes the world's first domestic green hydrogen gas network in Fife, Scotland, using renewable electricity from an offshore wind turbine.
  • Residents in Levenmouth can join the green hydrogen community to heat their homes and cook food without carbon emissions.
  • Hydrogen provides a similar user experience to natural gas but does not produce any carbon when burned, aiming to inform future low-carbon policy decisions.
  • SGN is upskilling gas engineers and partnering with Fife College to open the UK's first hydrogen training facility for fitting new hydrogen appliances.
The world's first domestic green hydrogen gas network has been completed in Fife, Scotland. Energy firm SGN announced the milestone in its H100 Fife project, where hydrogen gas will be created using renewable electricity from an offshore wind turbine. The 8.4km network will allow residents in Levenmouth to join the green hydrogen community, offering the option to heat their homes and cook food free of carbon emissions. SGN highlighted that hydrogen provides a similar user experience to natural gas but without carbon emissions when burned. The project aims to provide critical evidence for future low-carbon policy decisions in Scotland and the UK. SGN expressed gratitude to the Levenmouth community for their support and cooperation throughout the project. Additionally, gas engineers are being upskilled to connect homes to the hydrogen gas mains, and a partnership with Fife College will establish the UK's first hydrogen training facility for fitting new hydrogen appliances.
