Our vision for hydrogen in the US
Clean hydrogen is key to a clean energy future and ensuring we fully eliminate fossil fuels from our electric and gas system by 2050. We see potential to create 100% hydrogen-fueled neighborhoods, blend hydrogen with Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) into the existing gas networks, and fuel our generation assets with hydrogen.
Developing a Hydrogen Economy in New York
We are proud to be a part of the consortium announced by NY Governor Hochul to develop a regional clean energy hydrogen hub in the Northeast. A hub is a cluster of local hydrogen production, storage, and demand. Led by NYSERDA, partners will develop a hydrogen hub proposal for the Department of Energy.
A fossil-free future
Clean hydrogen plays two major roles in ensuring a fossil free future.
- It helps decarbonize multiple sectors, including heat, power generation, and transport, providing a clean, carbon-free fuel as a replacement.
- It fuels power generation to make a fully-renewable power grid more reliable with less infrastructure build-out.
Our vision for a fossil-free future
Our vision for fossil-free heat addresses climate change while ensuring affordable, reliable service to all our customers. Watch this video to learn more about how we plan to make our vision of a clean energy future a reality.
One of the US' first green hydrogen blending projects launches on Long Island
National Grid and the Town of Hempstead have announced a joint project to build one of the first and largest clean hydrogen projects in the US. The HyGrid Project, located on Long Island, will aid in decarbonizing networks by blending green hydrogen into the existing distribution system, and is expected to heat approximately 800 homes and fuel 10 municipal vehicles.
