Train as gas engineer

Sone said:
I have worked on Hydeploy (and Hydeploy2). Pretty sure Hynet (north west hydrogen network around Stanlow) has been given the go ahead. Also if you want to get into gas... get into "big boy gas". High pressure >100bar not the domestic side.

Yeah I work in the industry as well (or more the CCS side of it, but also touching on the H2). The talk of hydrogen distribution to domestic properties is pie in the sky as it relies on National Grid getting rid all their existing gas customers before they can repurpose the network for pure H2. Once you've gone to electric heating there's very little reason to then switch back to H2 boilers as the cost of H2 (unless we find plentiful supplies of replenishable white H2 all over the place) will be uncompetitive with direct electric heating, even when compared to NGL being shipped in and converted to H2 for end user use rather than electrolysis. It makes sense for the bigger industrial users depending on their use of it and I certainly see H2 being made available for fuel for transport, particularly heavy users like trucks and aircraft. Development of electric aircraft has already hit issues with battery technology and the rapid charge/discharge cycles needed for commercial use. Airlines don't want planes that can only fly 90% of the distance they could manage the year before.
 
I haven't read the thread but just wanted to add that my FIL re-trained as a gas engineer about 7 years ago, he has tonnes of work coming in and has taken on more trades for his business.
