Hydrogen can be generated by electrolysis from excess wind power, and fed into natural gas distribution networks. This is already happening. It is possible to add a significant part of hydrogen. The advantage of this that no completely new, expensive hydrogen infrastructure is needed, it can simply added as one of many necessary steps. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0360319918337960 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03603... https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-national-hydrogen-strategy https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-national... https://www.irena.org/-/media/Files/IRENA/Agency/Publication/2018/Sep/IRENA_Hydrogen_from_renewable_power_2018.pdf https://www.irena.org/-/media/Files/IRENA/Agency/Publication... In fact, it is not even new technology, because before natural gas, gas for household use was generated from coal: https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy13osti/51995.pdf https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy13osti/51995.pdf
