China studies hydrogen blending in gas network
Use of existing infrastructure could open the way for hydrogen in the city gas market and enable imports via LNG terminals, according to speakers at a Shanghai event
China’s state-controlled oil and gas suppliers are studying the possibility of using existing infrastructure to transport and store a blend of hydrogen and natural gas, a move that could cut costs and open the country up to hydrogen imports. UK-based sustainability consultancy ERM Group has been tasked by one of China’s state energy giants to study different scenarios for transporting hydrogen in natural gas pipelines, according to Martin Tai, a partner in Beijing at sustainability consultancy ERM Group. The effort aims to learn how hydrogen affects pipeline materials and related equipment, and the ideal ratio for a blend of gas and hydrogen, Tai said during a panel discussion held by UK bus
