NTS Pipeline Assessments Phase 2
Abstract
This project will build upon previous work to inform decisions relating to the repurposing of National Transmission System pipelines for 100% hydrogen and hydrogen-natural gas blends. New input data will be generated and collated, the assessment methodology will be refined and an alternative assessment method, probabilistic, will be utilised and the resulting network impact will be considered.
This project will generate the following benefits:
- More accurate assessment of the capability of the NTS to transport 100% hydrogen and hydrogen-natural gas blends.
- Data on the impact of low percentage blend hydrogen on pipeline materials.
- Standardised document for Engineering Critical Assessments (ECA) of hydrogen and hydrogen-natural gas blend pipelines and pipework.
Greater understanding on the effect of hydrogen on the design and operation of pipeline systems.
