This CEN document covers the state of the art in the treatment, injection, transportation, distribution and utilisation of gases from non-conventional sources in the natural gas system. It also tries to foresee the possible developments in this field in the nearer future. The gases from non-conventional sources include:
- Methane rich gases from gasification or fermentation processes;
- Hydrogen-rich gases from gasification or other chemical processes;
- Hydrogen produced by electrolysis (generally using renewable energy).
The main aspects to be covered by this report are the technical, gas quality and most important (long term) safety and integrity aspects related to the delivery of such gases by the existing natural gas networks, and concern particularly the processes injection in the gas networks, metering and billing, transmission and distribution, and end use. The production and upgrading processes will only be described as far as relevant for the other processes.
This document should be considered in addition to any existing National standards covering installations for manufacture, extraction, treatment, injection, transport and utilisation of these gases. It may also support any future directive or ordinance in this field.
