Is the National Grid the true obstacle to the green industrial revolution?
The calls for the Green Industrial Revolution have never been louder. As the world grapples with the urgent need to transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy, in the UK the role of the National Grid in this transformation has come under scrutiny. This article discusses what the true obstacles to this revolution are, amidst a perpetual “blame game” between the industry, network operators and the government.

With only around 9 per cent of new green hydrogen projects under construction or having reached final investment decision stage, Nadim Chaudhry, Chief Executive Officer, World Hydrogen Leaders, takes a look at the challenges and likely pathways to drive the industry forward.
Many electric utility operators are already taking measures to establish resilient networks capable of withstanding the impacts of climate change. Research indicates that every dollar invested in building resilient infrastructure saves six dollars in future repair costs, making it a beneficial long-term investment. So what are the key steps utilities can take?

If the production of green hydrogen is causing aquifer depletion or groundwater pollution because of how the feed water is extracted or the effluent is being disposed of, then it does somewhat undermine its environmental benefits. If the production of hydrogen is to be both green and sustainable, developers will need to consider new and innovative disposal methods
