ITM Power, a UK-based hydrogen energy developer, has begun a commercial contract with the National Grid and AMEC to assess deploying a power to gas energy storage technology in the UK.
ITM is working with the engineering consultancy firm to consult on the feasibility of using storage to reduce energy losses in the gas network. AMEC is a supplier to National Grid and will be acting as a third party cost assessor.
The project evaluates the costs and benefits of deploying the hydrogen storage technology to specific sites in the gas network to increase the efficiency of the gas system.
