Hydrogen
Hydrogen generates no carbon dioxide when it burns – just water vapor – which means there is tremendous potential to reduce end-use emissions by using hydrogen as a fuel.
Hydrogen Hub Opportunities with Nicor Gas
Nicor Gas has identified potential hydrogen hubs across our service territory and existing customers with high potential use for hydrogen in processload. To date, the opportunities that we are evaluating include:
- Customer end use of hydrogen
- Distribution and storage of hydrogen
- Environmental, technical and operational impacts of hydrogen integration
Southern Company Gas has partnered with industry peers, research consortia, academia and national laboratories to help start a new R&D initiative, known as HyBlend, to address technical barriers to blending hydrogen into natural gas infrastructure and study life-cycle emissions of hydrogen blends.
