Abstract

This RIIO-2 NIA project is a desktop research study designed to support the transition of the National Transmission System to hydrogen and carbon dioxide. It evaluates construction, commissioning, procurement and connection challenges and identifies scalable, standardisable solutions to support future Net Zero pipeline delivery.

The project is expected to deliver learning across:

Construction technologies
Commissioning and decommissioning approaches
Supply chain and contractor management
Standardisation and regulatory compliance
Sustainability and circular economy considerations

Learning will be shared via the ENA Smarter Networks Portal and National Gas dissemination channels.
