National Grid’s Head of Sustainable Gas Group, Janine Freeman, discusses their approach to innovation, including the opportunities and hurdles surrounding their quest to meet sustainable energy targets. In particular, she offers insight into the potential for injecting Biogas – the innovative renewable energy source – into National Grid pipelines. Compiled of the UK’s various waste streams, Biogas has the potential to simultaneously cut methane and carbon emissions, boost renewable energy capacity and provide a domestic replacement to waning North Sea gas reserves.
