INCREASING LOW CARBON Biogasses increasing; blend up to 20% H2 CONSUMER OPTIONS Flexible domestic hybrid appliances developed; pathway for deployment and future regulation. LOW CARBON GROWTH Biogasses close to potential; safety case supports higher hydrogen blends, and hydrogen is injected at a range of locations 100% LOW CARBON Fully integrated approach with dedicated hydrogen networks in some areas, hybrid systems and low carbon gas across the system To 2025 Beyond 2025

What else do we need to consider?
matthew.hindle@energynetworks.org From a consumer perspective:
- Development of appliances and functionality of heating
systems
- Costs and fairness – both in the transition and the
longer term
- What system resilience we should expect
- Safety – how we maintain and improve health and
safety outcomes
