Flexible Gas Transition Plant – Phase 1 Feasibility Study

Analysis of the distribution networks undertaken in the H2 Caledonia and H2 Connect projects has identified sectorisation isolation as the optimal approach for conversion. Sectorisation isolation allows for a sector-by-sector approach, ensuring the gradual conversion of existing Natural Gas connections over to hydrogen, or managing the disconnection process should customers opt for alternative heating solutions. This project will aim to develop an understanding of the technical and financial feasibility of a Flexible Gas Transition Plant (FGTP) through primary project outputs such as: outline of design options, development of a list of transition use cases, a cost benefit analysis (CBA) for each transition scenario, and a roadmap for future phases including prototype design and trials.
