Research

This projects expand the knowledge and technology supporting the transport and delivery of hydrogen/natural gas blends by considering two physically linked processes: mixing and demixing. Research activities relevant to mixing aim to develop guidelines for best practice. Parallel research activities aim to clarify the possibility, conditions and impact of mechanisms leading to a decrease in homogeneity.

Outcomes of the project will establish confidence in delivery of
hydrogen/natural gas blends. It will inform network operators of:

• Where hydrogen should be injected in a network,
• Where gas quality should be measured downstream of injection
  points,
• Cost-effective methods for real-time monitoring of hydrogen
  content across the network,
• Whether the likelihood and impact of demixing mechanisms
  warrant further considerations.
