| Abstract | The proposed project meets the scope objectives of Innovation Challenge 4 (heat) as a successful programme will significantly reduce gas network constraints (namely loss of energy in transport through process gas emissions) facilitating cost effective, low carbon heating solutions via a Net Zero National Transmission System (NTS). The project will take a selected technology through project design and delivery, leading to a proof-of-concept trial installation on a live NTS site under future SIF Alpha and Beta phases. Through a trial period, we would seek to understand the benefits, risks and challenges of operating process capture technology, ahead of a full network-wide roll out as business as usual (BAU).The proposed team has the required experience and capability to deliver the project, comprising at Discovery stage of:National Grid Gas (NGG) (partner / lead organisation). NGG is a heat network infrastructure provider and is the only licensed GT Network Operator (TNO) in the UK. NGG is challenged with solving the identified constraints to facilitate a network capable of providing cost effective low carbon heating solutions. NGGT is uniquely placed to trial and prove a technology solution in a UK context with its range of assets, sites and operating experience.PESL (Sub-contractor). PESL (lead delivery partner for CH4RGE NIA) has specialist experience in rolling out cost effective environmental improvements on the NTS, which align with the Best Available Techniques (BAT), as a cost-benefit based technology selection approach.Mott McDonald (Subcontractor). Mott MacDonald is an approved design partner (service provider) with extensive experience of technology project delivery on live gas sites in a safe and sustainable manner.After SIF Discovery phase, and following subsequent funding approval, we would involve at least one Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM); a supplier with proven capability will be chosen to avoid any potential impact on network availability or security of supply. The primary user will be the GT license holder; however, elements will also be widely applicable to GD license holders. All potential users are faced with the same challenges of reducing process gas losses and preparing for a transitional hybrid network to facilitate the delivery of cost-effective low carbon heat. Secondary users include European and global gas TNOs, and related upstream and downstream sectors (including hydrogen producers, gas midstream partners, and interconnector operators).VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DTv-9Hfic4&list=PLrMOhOrmeR6ktSag0RbT7zPNVn0p1P2f6&index=21 | |
