H100 Fife

The UK Government has set ambitious targets to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, with home heating accounting for approximately 37% of the nation's greenhouse gas emissions. To address this, the H100 Fife project was initiated as a pioneering demonstration to decarbonise domestic heating by replacing natural gas with green hydrogen. The challenge involved designing and implementing a new hydrogen production facility powered by offshore wind energy, constructing an 8.4 km hydrogen gas network, and ensuring the safe and efficient delivery of hydrogen to approximately 300 homes in the Levenmouth area of Fife.

G&T was appointed to provide Cost Management services for the H100 Fife project. Our role encompassed overseeing the financial aspects of constructing the hydrogen production and storage facilities, as well as the distribution network. This included managing budgets, forecasting costs, and ensuring financial efficiency throughout the project's development. Our expertise ensured that the project adhered to financial plans while maintaining high standards of safety and quality. 

The successful completion of the H100 Fife project has established the world's first domestic hydrogen gas network, positioning Fife at the forefront of the clean energy revolution. Residents in Buckhaven and Denbeath now have the option to heat their homes and cook using zero-carbon hydrogen gas, significantly reducing carbon emissions associated with domestic energy use. The project provides critical evidence to inform future low-carbon policy decisions for Scotland and the UK, supporting the transition to a net-zero future.
