Northern Gas Networks Limited

**Renewable Energy Harvest** unlocks the untapped power of Britain's countryside by turning farm, food, and forestry residues into clean, flexible green gas. By combining biomethane and syngas production with advanced mapping and forecasting tools, the project will identify where rural resources can best connect into the gas network. This innovation suppo...

GNES (Gas Network Evolution Simulator) uses Agent Based Modelling to simulate how people, policies, and infrastructure interact as the UK transitions away from natural gas. By reflecting real-world behaviours and decisions, it helps energy networks, policymakers, and communities explore fair, cost-effective pathways to decarbonisation. GNES reveals how tr...

The Gas Network Evolution Simulator (GNES) is an innovative project aimed at optimising the transition away from natural gas by using advanced Agent Based Modelling (ABM). GNES simulates the complex interactions between stakeholders such as Gas Distribution Networks (GDNs), Electricity Networks, consumers, and policymakers. It analyses economic, social, a...

Cross-Vector Energy Hubs can leverage the flexibility of both Electrical and Gas technologies to support the electricity system and release grid capacity via coordination of these parallel energy vectors. The project builds and demonstrates a planning and simulation toolset that evaluates the Cross-Vector Energy Hub, allowing both DNOs and prospective Ene...

The HyScale Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) project aims to demonstrate how an LOHC system can be used for capturing, storing and releasing hydrogen into a gas network, to manage long-duration storage requirements. The use of LOHCs connected to an electrolyser and a hydrogen gas network, will enable it to run flexibly and take advantage of low elec...

The project will explore how fuel cell micro-Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems can provide UPS functionality for individual homes as well as support to other nearby homes which depend on direct electrification to provide heat, power and mobility. Fuel cell technology can generate at efficiencies equivalent to the highest efficiency central generation ...
