Over the past ten years, the UK’s total greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by 24% – a drop driven mainly by the power sector’s transition towards renewables and natural gas at the expense of coal.

In the latest issue of the Dar Magazine, Nigel Curson, Penspen’s EVP of Technical Excellence, shares a technical vision for the United Kingdom’s gas network as an example for national gas networks to support the discussion around hydrogen and decarbonisation to reach net zero.
