Using natural gas grids for transport and distribution of H2
Publication . Simoes, Sofia; Amorim, Filipa
ABSTRACT: With the increasing importance of the role of H2 in the European and global energy systems (notably in Japan, United Kingdom, South Korea and Canada), there is na ongoing study and debate on the possible use of the existing natural gas grid infrastructure natural for H2 transport. At European level the following key issues are being discussed: Technical issues regarding the admissible and viable percentage of H2 blending in the grids and at what scale the corresponding regulation will be undertaken (national or European); Guarantees of origin certificates (GO); Articulation with current European legislation, and in particular the almost absence of mentions to H2 in the legislation in place.
