| Objectives | The project will encompass the previous completed Phases 1 & 2, which involved the comprehensive gathering of evidence from all ongoing projects that contribute to the safety and technical evidence required for the HSE assessment. Additionally, an evaluation will be conducted to assess how effectively the gathered evidence addresses existing gaps and identify any further projects needed to fulfil the Policy decision request from HSE/Government. This evaluation will build upon the previously conducted work in the area of Interventions for Hydrogen by Asset Group.Furthermore, the review will encompass an exploration of national and developed evidence, including a thorough examination of existing information and progress achieved thus far. For this project under Phase 3, a previously developed roadmap will be executed to facilitate the coordination of efforts among the GDNOs in generating evidence to address any gaps, prevent redundant work, and ensure timely submission for the September 2024 deadline.This project will be engaged with a number of governing bodies to ensure learning and next steps are captured, helping to support the HSE evidencing for September 2024. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) is scheduled to make a policy decision regarding the use of UK Hydrogen for heat in 2026. To facilitate this decision-making process, it is necessary to create and present technical and safety evidence to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for their assessment by the third quarter of 2024.SGN and the other Gas Distribution Networks (GDNs) including National Gas are actively involved in preparing and submitting safety evidence to the HSE in order to develop a Hydrogen Technical and Safety Case for Domestic Heat.The objective of this Project is for Arup to provide strategic technical and project management support to SGN and the GDNs in their efforts to submit evidence to the HSE to demonstrate the safe use of hydrogen.Arup will work with SGN and the GDNs in a systematic manner to develop a holistic safety narrative by using existing project information. Arup will build on evidence developed to date and highlight if there any gaps.The emergent project evidence will be prioritised, prior to submission to the HSE. The projects objective is to systematically compile the safety and technical evidence collected thus far, while also identifying any existing or future gaps in evidence development. It is imperative to ensure that such evidence aligns with the requirements set by the HSE/Government.During Phase 3, the project will aim to execute a previously created roadmap that effectively coordinates the efforts of the GDNOs in generating evidence, enabling them to address any identified gaps and avoid duplicative work. This will ensure the timely submission of evidence by the September 2024 deadline. | |
| Abstract | The project aims to continue working with Arup for the purpose of reviewing and assessing the safety evidence in order to meet the required September 2024 deadline in submitting evidence to HSE.During Phase 3, Arup will continue identifying any gaps in the current and planned technical and safety evidence development. Additionally, Arup will analyse and advise GDNOs (Gas Distribution Network Operators) on any progress and feedback of evidence review by HSE. Finally, Arup will facilitate effective demonstration of D-65 points by executing a previously developed roadmap and coordinating the efforts of GDNS in addressing any gaps whilst avoiding duplication of work. The goal is to ensure that all evidence is submitted on time for the September 2024 deadline. | |
