00:00:04.420 00:00:04.430 natural gas plays a vital role in our
00:00:07.220 00:00:07.230 everyday lives because Great Britain is
00:00:10.790 00:00:10.800 reliant on its gas supplies we need to
00:00:13.280 00:00:13.290 make sure they're clean secure and
00:00:15.740 00:00:15.750 affordable in the past most of our gas
00:00:19.880 00:00:19.890 came from the North Sea today's sources
00:00:22.880 00:00:22.890 are changing and we depend much more on
00:00:25.460 00:00:25.470 gas imported from other countries these
00:00:28.519 00:00:28.529 new gases all have different
00:00:29.960 00:00:29.970 compositions however the regulations
00:00:33.139 00:00:33.149 that govern them are old and based in
00:00:35.090 00:00:35.100 the composition of North Sea gas so
00:00:37.400 00:00:37.410 before we can use these new mixes of gas
00:00:39.500 00:00:39.510 in our homes they have to be processed
00:00:41.420 00:00:41.430 to fit the existing regulations and this
00:00:44.360 00:00:44.370 is an expensive operation many of these
00:00:47.930 00:00:47.940 gases are already being used safely and
00:00:50.270 00:00:50.280 efficiently without processing within
00:00:52.130 00:00:52.140 the EU but at this time there are no
00:00:54.740 00:00:54.750 consistent regulations across all Member
00:00:57.319 00:00:57.329 States if we can prove they work here
00:01:00.260 00:01:00.270 then our national regulations could
00:01:02.569 00:01:02.579 change with far-reaching benefits for
00:01:05.420 00:01:05.430 the whole of Great Britain wider sources
00:01:08.179 00:01:08.189 of gas means a more secure supply using
00:01:11.569 00:01:11.579 more green gases and could lead to lower
00:01:14.359 00:01:14.369 costs for customers
00:01:16.960 00:01:16.970 sgn delivers gas safely and reliably to
00:01:20.600 00:01:20.610 5.8 million customers in Scotland and
00:01:23.390 00:01:23.400 southern England we are running a
00:01:25.670 00:01:25.680 research project to prove that household
00:01:27.740 00:01:27.750 appliances will work with these new
00:01:29.390 00:01:29.400 compositions of gas and we want to do
00:01:31.760 00:01:31.770 that in urban well we chose oven for
00:01:39.350 00:01:39.360 this project and first of all because we
00:01:40.940 00:01:40.950 have a discrete distribution network in
00:01:42.770 00:01:42.780 oven and that is a network that's not
00:01:44.960 00:01:44.970 connected to the mean gas network so
00:01:47.510 00:01:47.520 that allows us to test in a controlled
00:01:49.550 00:01:49.560 environment the different sources of gas
00:01:51.200 00:01:51.210 so that we can wait in the range we
00:01:55.880 00:01:55.890 already have plan equipment in oven
00:01:58.070 00:01:58.080 that's there so it's very cost-effective
00:02:00.609 00:02:00.619 of course we also have a great
00:02:02.930 00:02:02.940 long-standing relationship with the
00:02:04.310 00:02:04.320 urban customers and Alban is
00:02:05.950 00:02:05.960 statistically representative of the gb
00:02:08.600 00:02:08.610 population and which is very important
00:02:10.639 00:02:10.649 when we're looking to upscale to apply
00:02:12.440 00:02:12.450 it to Great Britain
00:02:16.589 00:02:16.599 there are three stages to the project
00:02:19.390 00:02:19.400 we've already surveyed appliances from
00:02:22.030 00:02:22.040 100 customers in open and run tests on
00:02:25.330 00:02:25.340 some in the laboratory in stage two
00:02:28.420 00:02:28.430 we'll test three types of natural gas on
00:02:31.270 00:02:31.280 appliances and homes to see how they
00:02:33.130 00:02:33.140 perform and for this we need help from
00:02:35.890 00:02:35.900 every gas customer in oven so what will
00:02:39.640 00:02:39.650 happen in most cases the whole process
00:02:42.550 00:02:42.560 will last less than an hour our
00:02:45.400 00:02:45.410 qualified gas safe engineers will visit
00:02:48.220 00:02:48.230 at a pre-arranged time they'll turn the
00:02:52.120 00:02:52.130 gas off and attach test horses from
00:02:54.970 00:02:54.980 their vehicle to your supply they'll run
00:02:58.120 00:02:58.130 the test gases through your system turn
00:03:00.910 00:03:00.920 on your appliances one by one and record
00:03:03.670 00:03:03.680 the results after which our engineers
00:03:06.729 00:03:06.739 will reconnect your gas and leave your
00:03:09.280 00:03:09.290 home exactly as they found it what we're
00:03:13.479 00:03:13.489 asking gas ghost wants to do is tell
00:03:15.220 00:03:15.230 Lothos into the property to examine that
00:03:17.650 00:03:17.660 appliances and to test them on different
00:03:19.509 00:03:19.519 compositions of gas we're using gas if
00:03:22.240 00:03:22.250 qualified engineers who had experts with
00:03:24.099 00:03:24.109 appliances to cut out the test
00:03:26.960 00:03:26.970 on the day it would take approximately
00:03:29.240 00:03:29.250 know what of that team just for those
00:03:31.610 00:03:31.620 basically just to hook up three
00:03:34.430 00:03:34.440 different types of gas care stitch
00:03:36.500 00:03:36.510 individual gas appliance and at the same
00:03:38.810 00:03:38.820 time to our gas safety chip and all the
00:03:41.600 00:03:41.610 appliances band at the end of it all it
00:03:43.310 00:03:43.320 would be given a three-car monoxide
00:03:44.930 00:03:44.940 detector the whole process is completely
00:03:49.250 00:03:49.260 safe it's already been thoroughly tested
00:03:51.680 00:03:51.690 in laboratory conditions and if we find
00:03:54.920 00:03:54.930 any faults or anything unsafe we'll fix
00:03:58.100 00:03:58.110 it for free by helping us for this one
00:04:00.949 00:04:00.959 hour you'll be putting open at the
00:04:03.290 00:04:03.300 forefront of energy innovation for the
00:04:07.250 00:04:07.260 final stage will choose a mix of gas of
00:04:09.920 00:04:09.930 a higher quality than already used in
00:04:11.900 00:04:11.910 the network and run it through the open
00:04:14.630 00:04:14.640 network for one year
00:04:18.780 00:04:18.790 this project really is an opportunity to
00:04:22.450 00:04:22.460 influence the way that the gas market
00:04:24.340 00:04:24.350 operates not just in Britain but also
00:04:26.950 00:04:26.960 potentially in Europe but we need you to
00:04:29.469 00:04:29.479 support it and we need you to help us do
00:04:31.300 00:04:31.310 the testing and prove the case if
00:04:34.629 00:04:34.639 customers have an flr concerns please
00:04:36.670 00:04:36.680 get in touch we've got a customer
00:04:38.200 00:04:38.210 service center website social media or
00:04:40.900 00:04:40.910 dcs around the town please pop over and
00:04:43.300 00:04:43.310 say hello
00:04:49.710 00:04:49.720 you
