据OIlpirce网站11月30日报导，英国和苏格兰当局正在资助世界上第一个生产、储存和分配100%绿色氢网络的试验，该实验将为苏格兰300户家庭供暖。这是英国和苏格兰在30年内实现净零排放目标的一部分。
英国能源监管机构天然气与电力市场办公室（Ofgem）周一表示，它将向苏格兰法夫市的一个项目提供2400万美元(折合1800万英镑)的资金支持，该项目将为300户家庭提供由海上风力发电电解而成的绿色氢来取暖和烹饪。
该项目还得到了苏格兰政府920万美元(折合690万英镑)的进一步投资。SGN公司的法夫H100项目将于明年开始建设，而氢气供应网络预计将于2022年投入使用。该项目将持续运行4年半，直到2027年3月，目的是展示绿色氢是否可以作为减少排放和为英国家庭供暖的可行解决方案。
苏格兰能源部长保罗·威尔德豪斯(Paul Wheelhouse)在一份声明中表示:“我认为这个项目是了解我们能源脱碳选择的关键一步，并将提供一个专门建造的端到端供氢系统，所以我热烈欢迎Ofgem对该项目的投资。”
根据SGN的数据，目前，中央供暖导致的排放占英国温室气体排放的三分之一。

The World’s First Trial Of Green Hydrogen Heating
The UK and Scottish authorities are funding the world’s first trial of a 100 percent green hydrogen generation, storage, and distribution network to heat 300 homes in Scotland as part of the UK and Scottish ambitions to achieve net-zero emissions within three decades.
The UK’s energy regulator Ofgem The project also receives a further investment of US$9.2 million (6.9 million pounds) from the Scottish Government. The H100 Fife project of the company SGN is set to begin construction next year, while the hydrogen network is expected to go live in 2022. The project will be operational for four and a half years until March 2027 and will aim to show if green hydrogen is a viable solution to reducing emissions and heating homes in the UK.
“I see this project as a critical step towards understanding our decarbonization options for heat and will deliver a purpose-built end-to-end hydrogen system, so I warmly welcome Ofgem’s investment in the project,” Paul Wheelhouse, Scotland’s energy minister, said in a statement.
Currently, central heating is responsible for up to a third of the UK’s greenhouse gas output, according to SGN.
