D5.1 – Baseline, assumptions and scope for techno-economic modelling of hydrogen admixture into the gas grid
The report “Baseline and case studies definition” aims to develop the basics which are of fundamental importance for the further tasks in work package 5 of the HIGGS project. The report is divided into three main chapters. The section on baseline includes studies on the present and future consumption of natural gas and hydrogen in […]
D2.3 – Hydrogen compatibility in high-pressure grids: technical, RCS barriers, enablers, and innovations
With the focus on infrastructure, european legal, and technical framework, european sector initiatives, certification and national frameworks the final review on barriers, enablers, and innovations of hydrogen compitability in high-pressure grids is now elaborated. The high-pressure transmission gas grid is substantially hydrogen-ready. Some parts of the gas grid still need additional monitoring and approval through […]
