| Abstract | This project aims to provide an offline demonstration of gas separation or deblending technology on a gas network scale. Previous NIA projects have proven deblending technology could be utilised to support a gas network applications, however, current solutions are large industrial facilities that you would not want to build for a potentially transient application. This programme of work looks to develop a smaller scale skid mounted solution for the National Transmission System (NTS) that can be deployed to customers, providing the blend of gas needed on the point of extraction from the NTS.The project will review the opportunity to demonstrate skid mounted deblending technologies at our FutureGrid facility and leverage Phase 1 of FutureGrid which will have built a hydrogen ready test facility which gas separation assets can be connected to. In Alpha and Beta we will work with a chosen original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to facilitate designing, building and testing a demonstration; in collaboration with a mobility infrastructure providers who are looking to build refuelling facilities across the UK.This project directly addresses all of the scope challenges under the Zero Emissions Transport Theme as demonstrating gas separation, compression and purification technology will increase the locations for hydrogen refuelling across the country and remove the reliance on local production of hydrogen for the transport sector. Refuelling from the transmission system is also a viable option for hydrogen in the heavy haulage, trains, buses and shipping sectors due to the higher demands.The partners chosen for this SIF application each offer a unique aspect to the overall picture of gas separation, compression, purification, refuelling and use. Element Energy have been selected due to their extensive hydrogen capabilities and work in the deblending sector. HyET are a specialist company focusing on new technology which not only compresses hydrogen but also purifies it in the same process which we hope could reduce overall costs. Element 2 will offer insight into the refuelling infrastructure sector. Jaguar Land Rover will provide a end user perspective and requirements for the final gas output.Scenarios for gas separation are:The customer is interested in extracting the hydrogen, purifying it and offering it to the transport sector.The offtake customer cannot accept any increase in hydrogen as they are not ready to transition.The offtake customer requires a very precise blend of hydrogen and natural gas and will be sensitive to fluctuations.VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsC58xoLAWQ&list=PLrMOhOrmeR6ktSag0RbT7zPNVn0p1P2f6&index=26 | |
