Hydrogen blending: Delivering safe, non-disruptive and cost-effective carbon reduction for gas customers

In this episode of DecarbDiscussions, Xoserve’s Victoria Mustard talks to Charles Perez-Storey, Principal Engineer at Progressive Energy about the planning and implementation of the Hydeploy project, how safety was built into every stage and why hydrogen blending could be so crucial to decarbonisation of the energy system.
