NEW CH4 - Preparing networks for the arrival of new methanes

"Renewable methane, such as biomethane, is a key element in the successful energy transition and the ecological objectives of NaTran, France and Europe." (Dairo Ballestas, Program Coordinator)

Major issues

  • Conduct research projects to ensure the safety of new gases before they are injected into networks, while optimizing transportation costs.
  • Support an ecosystem of partners
    to ensure compliance between network specifications and gas quality

Perimeters

  • New methanes: Methanization (including microalgae methanization ) / Pyrogasification / Hydrothermal gasification / Methanation
  • CO2: capture, transport

Key levers

  • Know the quality of new gases and carry out the associated impact study
  • Develop analysis methods offering
    the best value for money
  • Qualify equipment, in particular biogas injection systems (injection skids) on the NaTran network.

Outlook for 2030

  • Know the quality of new gases and carry out the associated impact study
  • Develop analysis methods offering
    the best value for money
  • Qualify equipment, in particular biogas injection systems (injection skids) on the NaTran network.
