Cadent Gas Limited

**BioCapMap** is a Strategic Innovation Fund Discovery project led by Cadent, with Bohr Energy and Energy Systems Catapult. It will unlock the UK's biomethane potential by developing a digital, self-service tool that helps developers identify optimal gas network connection points, being the first of kind to solve this gap in the connections planning proce...

Biomethane is key to decarbonising the UKs gas network. However, in comparison to Natural Gas, it has a lower energy density and requires enrichment before injection into the gas network. Currently Propane is used, a fossil fuel, undermining the environmental credentials of biomethane, increasing production cost and introducing bituminous elements causing...

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...

This project will explore how utility companies and highway authorities can better coordinate roadworks to reduce disruption, cut carbon emissions, and improve efficiency. Through stakeholder engagement, data analysis, and lessons from existing schemes, the Discovery Phase will assess the need and value of a new approach to identifying and enabling collab...

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...

_EMStor Alpha Phase will assess the technical and commercial feasibility of repurposing a depleted onshore hydrocarbon field in the East Midlands to store hydrogen. The project will also asses how people living in the vicinity of hydrocarbon fields feel about those assets being re-purposed to storing hydrogen. Hydrogen storage will enable accelerated depl...
