Standardised Biomethane Connection Designs

Abstract

National Gas has seen a significant increase in the number of enquiries from biomethane developers for connections to the NTS.

There are currently circa 66 projects the connections team have identified as having NTS connection potential, with an associated volume of 5.9TWh per annum.

Developers are attracted to the NTS for numerous reasons, but the following are the main drivers:

  • No injection of propane or odorant
  • Capacity and capability

To speed up time to connect to a biomethane facility this project was developed to produce an innovative standardised design for a Minimum Offtake Connection (MOC) in a pit.

National Gas is looking to offer a cost effective, repeatable, and simplified Minimum Connection arrangement at greenfield locations with a low visual impact by locating the network isolation valves in a pit for biomethane facilities.

The findings from the project will be uploaded to the Future Energy Networks portal and will be shared via National Gas innovation social media.
