Last week, National Gas Metering (NGM) took a significant step forward in promoting the future of clean energy by hosting a two-day hydrogen event at Tyseley Energy Park (TEP), Birmingham. This also showcased their new line of hydrogen services “hydrogen solutions by ngm”.
The event brought together experts from across the energy sector to discuss, collaborate, and explore the latest advancements in hydrogen technology, all while experiencing hands-on demonstrations in a unique setting.
A key highlight of the event was NGM’s “worlds first” hydrogen powered kitchen, the first fully operational commercial kitchen powered entirely by clean hydrogen technology. The event was catered by Falcon Foodservice Equipment, showcasing the practical use of hydrogen in a commercial kitchen environment, where innovation met sustainability.
The first day was rich with expert insights. Esteemed speakers included Clare Jackson from Hydrogen UK, Victoria Mustard from National Grid – ESO soon to be the National System Energy Operator (NESO), and David Hardman from National Gas Transmission who shared their perspectives on the future role of hydrogen in the evolving energy landscape. The sessions were followed by a networking lunch, giving attendees the opportunity to discuss and collaborate.
Afterward, participants were treated to guided tours of NGM’s Hydrogen Kitchen and other cutting-edge hydrogen facilities at TEP, where they witnessed Birmingham’s role in driving clean energy innovation.
On the second day, the focus shifted to the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study, a collaborative discussion between NGM and DNV. The conversations centred around the role of hydrogen alongside electrification, future funding opportunities, and the potential of a comprehensive hydrogen network in the UK. These sessions provided valuable insights into hydrogen’s long-term impact on the energy transition and highlighted the critical collaborations necessary to accelerate hydrogen adoption.
The event, expertly led by NGM’s Chris Wood and Phill Burbidge, was a resounding success, fostering important discussions and forging new partnerships in the hydrogen sector. As NGM continues to lead in the development of hydrogen solutions, we remain committed to advancing the clean energy transition through innovation and collaboration.
