Dr. Luke Warren, Chief Executive of the CCSA, commented: “To meet the UK’s ambitious climate change goals will require decarbonisation across the economy – this report sets out an excellent proposal to turn the UK’s gas grid into a hydrogen network, which can reduce emissions and provide a long-term future for the UK’s gas infrastructure." Carbon Capture and Storage ( CCS ) is needed to cope with the CO2 created by the conversion of natural gas into hydrogen through steam methane reforming , according to a report from H21 - North Gate , a group set up to study replacing natural gas with hydrogen in the UK city . The report calls on the UK government to urgently revise its approach to CCS , develop its infrastructure , and collaborate with the industry . Converting the UK 's natural gas grid to hydrogen would reduce emissions from the heat sector by 73 % , the report showed .
