In this episode of Decarb Discussions, our host James Verdon is joined by Professor Russell Thomas, who recently published a paper on the transformation of the UK gas industry between 1949 and the end of the 1970s.Listen as they discuss the challenges of the sector during the nationalisation of the gas distribution system, and what lessons can be learned to help with today’s decarbonisation agenda.Hosted by James Verdon, Strategic Stakeholder Manager, XoserveGuest Speaker: Russell Thomas, Tec...
In this episode of Decarb Discussions, Victoria Mustard, Xoserve's former Decarbonisation Strategy Lead spoke with a wide range of people from across the utilities industry about what can be done to better empower, encourage and support women in the energy and utility industry.Hosted by Victoria Mustard, Decarbonisation Strategy Lead, XoserveGuest speakers:Della Newton, Global Energy Management and Sales at ENGIESophie Dooley, Consultant at Engage ConsultingAyena Gupta, Head of DCC Oversight ...
In this episode of Decarb Discussions, join Xoserve’s Victoria Mustard as she talks to Matthew Cole, Head of Fuel Bank Foundation.Matthew’s work brings him into contact with many UK families and individuals struggling with fuel poverty. These are often people who understand very well how important energy efficiency is but can’t fund efficiency measures; people who expect to go without heat and light for part of every month; people regularly forgotten in conversations about the future of heat ...
Heat demand and the role of energy storage: what are our options?In this episode of Decarb Discussions, Xoserve’s Victoria Mustard talks to Dr Grant Wilson, Associate Professor at Birmingham Energy Institute, University of Birmingham. Listen as they explore the issues that will impact future energy demand patterns, how the UK’s plans to decarbonise heat will create new challenges for security of supply, and how energy storage can support system flexibility.Hosted by Victoria Mustard, Dec...
Hydrogen blending: Delivering safe, non-disruptive and cost-effective carbon reduction for gas customersIn 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.Hear about customer experiences of switching from 100% natural gas to...
We’re told from an early age that throwing away food is wasteful. However, we don’t often think about the environmental impact of food waste – particularly in terms of harmful greenhouse gas emissions.In this episode of DecarbDiscussions, Christer Stoyell, Managing Director of Severn Trent Green Power, explains how the gas produced by organic waste can be trapped and put to use thanks to anaerobic digestion.Hosted by Victoria Mustard, Decarbonisation Strategy Lead, XoserveGuest Speaker: ...
Hosted by Victoria Mustard, Decarbonisation Strategy Lead, XoserveGuest Speaker:Thomas Baxter, co-founder of the Hydrogen Science Coalition and Senior Lecturer at the University of AberdeenHydrogen, when coupled with CCUS or produced from electrolysis using renewable sources, could provide a carbon neutral alternative to natural gas.But is this reason enough to select it as the default option to decarbonise our gas grid? According to Thomas Baxter, co-founder of the Hydrogen Science Coalition...
Hosted by Victoria Mustard, Decarbonisation Strategy Lead, XoserveGuest Speaker: Alex Brightman, Hydrogen Home Coordinator at Northern Gas NetworkHave you ever wondered how it would be to live in a house where natural gas has been entirely replaced by hydrogen? In this episode of DecarbDiscussions, Alex Brightman, Hydrogen Home Coordinator at Northern Gas Network, explains the benefits of using hydrogen for residential heating and cooking, and debunks some of the myths surrounding this l...
Hosted by Victoria Mustard, Decarbonisation Strategy Lead, XoserveGuest Speakers:James Earl, Director of Gas at the Energy Networks AssociationMegan Bray, Market Development Lead at National GridBethan Winter, System Operations Manager at Wales & West UtilitiesJoel Martin, Biomethane Connections Manager at SGNIn this episode of Decarb Discussions, we discuss the challenges, opportunities and considerations that need to be given around introducing a hydrogen blend into the natural gas netw...
In this episode of DecarbDiscussions, Darren Elsom gives us an overview of the future of gas, and how we can accelerate the decarbonisation of the gas grid in the race to achieve net zero by 2050. Although natural gas will still play a crucial role in the next couple of decades, hydrogen is emerging as a promising carbon-neutral alternative. As well as helping decarbonise our gas grid, hydrogen finds other important applications in heavy-duty transport, shipping and aviation. Howeve...
In this new episode of Decarb Discussions, we explore the role of biomethane in decarbonising our gas grid. Traditionally, biogas has been extracted from organic waste and burned to generate electricity. Now, with more electricity coming from renewables, there is the chance to give new purpose to biogas, upgrading it to biomethane that can be injected into the gas grid to heat our buildings in a more sustainable way. Biomethane is more than a great way to repurpose waste: the CO2 ge...
In this podcast episode, hear Xoserve’s Victoria Mustard in conversation with experts from the UK’s leading gas metering organisations. A must-listen for meter asset owners, providers and managers; hear what industry peers believe the impacts of introducing hydrogen to the UK gas mix will have on asset management strategies.With hydrogen projects progressing Is it time for your organisation to take action and prepare for a low-carbon future? Listen today to hear:what opportunities the mo...
In this podcast episode, hear Xoserve’s Victoria Mustard in conversation with some of the gas industry experts that are collaborating to trial hydrogen as an alternative to natural gas for heating UK homes.Northern Gas Networks and Cadent Gas Limited have worked together on the Hydrogen Village trials and Hydeploy project. With plans for the Uk’s first Hydrogen Town set to be submitted in March 2023, listen today to hear them discuss:what learnings have been taken from the Hydrogen Village pr...
In this podcast session, we take a look at the role of metering in achieving a net zero gas system and the specific challenges metering organisations will face as we transition to low-carbon and then net zero carbon.In the spirit of collaborating towards a shared goal, hear what metering specialists would like the rest of the gas industry to know about:how metering business models are changing as organisations decarbonise what a gas blend or 100% hydrogen replacement for natural gas will...
In this podcast session, we will take a look at the new hydrogen Guarantee of Origin (GoO) scheme and why National Grid believes it will be so important to developing a successful low-carbon gas economy. With an in depth look at how I&C businesses will be affected and can benefit from the scheme.Hear how the GoO scheme will work and why National Grid is forwarding the initiative.Hear what the introduction of hydrogen GoOs means for customers, producers, and suppliers.Understand how I&...
