| Objectives | The aim of this project is to develop an integrated packaged solution to allow bio-methane producers to connect to the 7 bar network. Success of this project will be identification and confirmation of a fit for purpose, cost effective and efficient packaged solution that can be deployed for the majority of requested bio-methane connections in the future. | |
| Abstract | Currently there is no one single integrated packaged kit to allow bio-methane producers to connect to the gas network. This means that there is no straightforward route, thus reducing the incentive for bio-methane producers to connect to the network. By facilitation of bio-gas connections with a packaged unit to enable injection of renewable gas into the gas distribution network, the aim is to connect 80 bio-gas connections to the network at an average output of 450m3/h, by 2020. This will allow National Grid to contribute 3. 5 TWh of biogas into the network, which meets the environmental targets set at 50% renewable gas. Use of bio-methane on the gas distribution network will help to reduce the future dependency on fossil fuels thus ensure security of supply for the future, whilst using and sustaining the existing energy infrastructure. This project will undertake a detailed design and G17 design process to identify the proposed standard bio-gas connection solution. This will be followed by installation and commissioning to cover physical installation of the chosen solution at the Stockport site. Finally development of bespoke design guidance will take place for the gas industry and Network Licensees to use for future bio-methane connections.Note : Project Documents may be available via the ENA Smarter Networks Portal using the Website link above | |
