Biomethane
Injected at 89 sites; 6.7 TWh so far. Policy support through Renewable Heat Incentive

Filling stations
Now 11 LNG and 8 CNG filling stations – 3 of the CNG filling stations are biomethane, allowing an 84% well to wheel CO2 reduction. Policy support through Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation

Gas Network Upgrade
30-year Iron Mains Risk Reduction Programme replacing distribution mains with polyethylene – suitable to transport 100% hydrogen – will be completed around 2030

Filling Stations
Currently 16 hydrogen filling stations in operation; £23 million Hydrogen for Transport programme will fund 14 further filling stations and deployment of new vehicles
