H2 & CO2 - Preparing networks for the arrival of hydrogen and CO2

"Putting NaTran's network at the service of H2 and CO2 development" (Romain Jambut, H2 Program Coordinator / Christopher Boss, CO2 Program Coordinator)

Major issues

  • Understanding the specific transport characteristics of the
    dihydrogen (H2) molecule
  • Adapt certain control and metering equipment to integrate dihydrogen (H2) into networks
  • Determine the adaptations required to maintain the quality of gas transmission

Perimeters

  • All actions linked to the development of hydrogen, including "Power to Gas".

Key levers

  • Understanding the impact of H2 on pipe integrity, corrosion and network equipment
  • Understanding the impact of H2 on the functional response of measurement equipment (metering, gas quality)
  • Understanding the H2 impact on maintenance, operation and inspection
  • Developing mitigation solutions and new materials
  • Enhancing knowledge of H2 safety
  • Adapting network control conditions in the presence of H2, in particular the compression brick

Outlook for 2030

  • Understanding the impact of H2 on pipe integrity, corrosion and network equipment
  • Understanding the impact of H2 on the functional response of measurement equipment (metering, gas quality)
  • Understanding the H2 impact on maintenance, operation and inspection
  • Developing mitigation solutions and new materials
  • Enhancing knowledge of H2 safety
  • Adapting network control conditions in the presence of H2, in particular the compression brick
