Standardising Grid Entry Unit

Abstract

The UK’s biomethane sector faces challenges due to the diverse and non-standardized grid entry requirements across different Gas Distribution Networks (GDNs). This variability leads to increased costs, complexity, and lead times for biomethane projects, hindering the industry’s growth and efficiency.

The opportunity lies in the standardization of grid entry units used for biomethane injection into the UK’s gas grid. Currently, these units are developed and manufactured with varying requirements across different networks, leading to increased costs and complexity. Since the networks are essentially the same, this lack of standardization is inefficient and creates logistical challenges, such as extended lead times.

Additionally, with the increasing potential for hydrogen blending into the gas grid, the need for similar (or identical) units for hydrogen injection further exacerbates the current issues. Standardizing the specifications, including flow and pressure ranges, would allow manufacturers to streamline production, reduce costs, and meet demand more efficiently
