Terra Firma Energy Limited Celebrates SGN’s Hydrogen Trial — Positioned Ready to Support UK’s Flexible, Low-Carbon Future

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Terra Firma Energy is thrilled to applaud the successful Live Transmission System (LTS) Futures trial conducted by SGN, in which an existing natural gas pipeline was repurposed to carry hydrogen, marking a first-of-its-kind milestone in the UK.

This crucial proof-of-concept not only underscores industry confidence in hydrogen as a viable clean energy carrier but also complements Terra Firma Energy’s own strategic infrastructure, which is fully hydrogen-ready and primed to support the flexible energy transition.

Key Highlights

  • SGN’s Achievement
    SGN’s live trial, repurposing a 30 km stretch of the Local Transmission System for hydrogen transport, validates the feasibility of hydrogen-ready gas infrastructure in the UK. This breakthrough aligns with the broader energy strategy of decarbonising flexible generation and storage solutions.
  • Terra Firma Energy: Hydrogen-Ready and Ready to Act
    All of Terra Firma Energy’s generation sites are specifically equipped to transition to hydrogen fuel. Our use of hydrogen-compatible generation equipment ensures that we can step up as hydrogen’s role in decarbonising the grid grows. This positions Terra Firma Energy not just as an observer, but as a partner in the hydrogen-enabled shift.
  • Accelerating the Clean Energy Transition
    SGN’s achievement sets an important precedent. With Terra Firma Energy’s hydrogen-ready infrastructure, we stand prepared to bridge the gap between pilot demonstration and full-scale deployment, accelerating the adoption of low-carbon dispatchable power across the UK.
