Penspen to deliver major European hydrogen project from Aberdeen office
UK-headquartered energy consultancy Penspen has secured a contract to assess the feasibility of introducing hydrogen blending on a major European gas pipeline.
UK-headquartered energy consultancy Penspen has secured a contract to assess the feasibility of introducing hydrogen blending on a major European gas pipeline.
Equinor ASA said that it won’t be moving ahead with plans to build a pipeline to carry hydrogen from Norway to Germany with partner RWE AG.
Germany’s freshly-approved strategy to import hydrogen has been criticized by industry groups for ignoring the lack of credible pipelines to bring supplies of the clean gas from other parts of Europe.
The Scottish Government has awarded the Net Zero Technology Centre £200,000 to advance research into the feasibility of exporting hydrogen from Scotland to Germany.
Mathematical modelling can demonstrate how to safely blend hydrogen with natural gas for transport in existing pipeline systems, claim researchers at the famous Los Alamos National Laboratory in the US.
The UK government is proposing that the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) should oversee hydrogen pipelines in addition to its current workload.
RWE and Equinor said they would build hydrogen power plants, as well as a pipeline to send the fuel to Germany from Norway.
