NGG - National Grid RFI finds ample renewable gas green hydrogen for U.S. Northeast

National Grid ( NYSE: NGG ) said on Tuesday it had located "robust stocks" of renewable natural gas and green hydrogen for potential use by customers in New York and Massachusetts, which it said are essential to its plans for a 100% fossil-free gas network by 2050.

Through responses from its recent request for information, National Grid ( NGG ) said there will be at least 33T BTUs available in the next three years, more than double the 15T BTUs needed in 2025.

The company said these fossil-free energy supplies are either immediately available or could be online within two years of contracting the projects, validating its vision for fossil-free heat in the U.S. Northeast.

"The RFI response alone is nearly double our 2025 need for fossil-free fuel and our analysis indicates that this initial response is not nearly the extent of RNG, hydrogen and other innovative renewable resources that National Grid can procure," National Grid's ( NGG ) VP of Energy Procurement said.

National Grid ( NGG ) unveiled a plan in April to eliminate fossil fuels from both its gas and electric systems in Massachusetts and New York by 2050 .
