Petroleum Regulatory Board Publishes Draft Guidelines For Hydrogen Blending In Piped Natural Gas
· Automobile · Moneycontrol
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board has published draft guidelines allowing up to five percent hydrogen blending in household piped natural gas networks. The proposed rules aim to reduce carbon emissions in the domestic energy sector by integrating cleaner fuel into existing distribution infrastructure. Industry stakeholders and the public can submit feedback on the draft framework until the designated consultation deadline. The regulatory body is evaluating technical safety, pipeline compatibility, and leakage prevention measures before finalising the standards. The initiative aligns with national clean energy targets to scale up green hydrogen adoption across urban gas grids.
Why it matters
City gas distribution companies and household consumers will need to adapt their infrastructure and gas appliances to handle the hydrogen-blended fuel mix safely.
