This programme will serve to support and inform future policy appraisal in Government and to inform the development of policies and measures to meet UK carbon budgets. The work covers a range of priority research areas to support the creation of standards which will support hydrogen trials in the UK. ## Lots (5) ### Lot 1: Research and evidence gathering for piped systems with respect for hydrogen for: i) purging, ii) tightness and material compatibility - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 24111600, 38432100, 39341000, 39721410, 76000000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Estimated Value:** £250,000 - **Description:** Description: Lot 1 will address two focus areas. i) purging of systems which aims to identify where additional data is required to permit the development of safe purging procedures for both domestic and non-domestic environments. ii) gas tightness an... ### Lot 2: Research and evidence gathering for material and component suitability - domestic and non-domestic for hydrogen - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 24111600, 38432100, 39341000, 39721410, 76000000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Estimated Value:** £200,000 - **Description:** The aim lot 2 is to determine materials which are suitable for use with hydrogen.
