IGEM sponsor Future of Gas inquiry

IGEM is pleased to sponsor Carbon Connect's Future of Gas Inquiry. This research project investigates the opportunities offered by low carbon gas to reduce the UK's greenhouse gas emissions and considers the policy developments required to enable its deployment as an energy source.

The Future Gas Series draws on recent work which has demonstrated the considerable potential for low carbon gas to contribute to the UK's attempts to decarbonise heat at an affordable cost and, in particular, assess the practical steps which are required to achieve this. This project champions the future of the gas industry and is co-sponsored by the four gas distribution networks.

The project will examine the following areas:

-  Sponsored by IGEM, explore issues related to the gas distribution 
   network and local storage

-  Issues related to the production and bulk storage or low carbon gas

-  Issues related to consumers and the development of compatible 
   appliances

Further details about the research projects can be found at:
