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

"Our ambition is to transport carbon-free hydrogen in the future, combining safety, competitiveness and a very high level of performance." (Tanguy Manchec, Program Coordinator)

Enjeux majeurs

  • 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

Périmètre

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

Leviers clés

  • 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
