Renewable Hydrogen and End-users’ Considerations for the Transition to a Renewable Gas Network (HyEnd)

Renewable Hydrogen and End-users’ Considerations for the Transition to a Renewable Gas Network (HyEnd)

Next steps The next phases of the initiatives are listed below. These will include optimisation of the Irish gas network for incorporating hydrogen, biomethane and natural gas with a focus on the Wobbe Index and calorific value calculations while minimising emissions:

• Optimisation of the operational management of the network and consistent energy value trade off and minimising the hydrogen storage. To this, the following work-packages will be considered: –

Optimising the H2+BiCH4+NG blends by: – Minimising emissions. – Maximising renewable hydrogen input while meeting the energy needs of end-users.

– Minimising the hydrogen gas storage. – Using hydrogen storage to maintain consistent gas quality. • Research on emissions reduction. • Analysing hydrogen blend and pure hydrogen in power generators and industrial end-users
