Introduction
Natural gas has a long-proven track record for heating. However, the climate challenge requires change. Will hydrogen be able to take its place? How will the potential for customer convenience and acceptance square with this sector requiring some of the toughest cost-reduction needs?
We have a set of leading experts who will consider the different angles, the interplay with alternatives for heating, the alternative uses for hydrogen, and the development over the short- and long-term.
In addition, the seminar will feature the annual UK gas winter outlook from National Grid.
