    China Petrochemical News Network reported on May 19 that according to ICIS's analysis of the National Grid Hydrogen Market Plan (GMaP) released on May 12, the demand for natural gas in the UK's industrial and power sectors may increase by about 18%.


    Among the four hydrogen GMaP schemes released by the British National Grid, the plans of the power and industrial sectors show the promotion of blue hydrogen, which is produced through the transformation of natural gas and the use of carbon capture and storage (CCS).


    If a standard automatic thermal reforming (ATR) device (a technology used to produce blue hydrogen) is adopted, the demand for natural gas used by industry and electricity will rise by about 18%.


    This only illustrates the blue hydrogen production process in the ATR unit, and considers the power required to operate the site or CCS.


    Currently, the United Kingdom does not have any ATR capacity.


    According to the information reported by the International Energy Agency's 2017 Greenhouse Gas Research and Development Program, using this method requires approximately 5.


    Currently, the remaining 13.

      Blue hydrogen could increase UK gas use under TSO plan

      British natural gas demand from the industrial and power sectors could rise by around 18%, according to an ICIS analysis of the National Grid Hydrogen Gas Markets Plan (GMaP) released on 12 May.


      Of the four hydrogen GMaP scenarios released by National Grid, the plan for the power and industrial sectors indicates a push towards blue hydrogen, which is produced by reforming natural gas and using carbon capture and storage (CCS).


      Given a standard autothermal reforming (ATR) unit, a technology for producing blue hydrogen, gas demand for industrial and power use could rise by around 18%.


      This accounts for just the production process of blue hydrogen in an ATR unit and does take into the electricity required to run the site or for CCS.


      At present the UK does not have any ATR capacity, with 13.


      Based on information from the IEA Greenhouse Gas R&D Programme 2017 report, using this method requires around 5.


      The remaining 13.
