12 Grenfell: what have we learned?
On the night of 14 June 2017, a fire
broke out in the 24-storey Grenfell
Tower block of flats in North
Kensington, West London, causing
72 deaths. Given the horrifying
death toll, an inquiry was launched
to discover what went wrong that
fateful night and how we can learn
from those mistakes. Rodney
Hancox, Chair of the IGEM/G/5 panel
and Director of Gas Distribution
Solutions, gave evidence at the
inquiry, reporting on the legislation,
regulations, guidance and industry
practice relevant to the gas supply to
and within Grenfell Tower. Here, he
shares his findings

volumes of low carbon hydrogen in
the economy 12
