GET H2 ' Infrastructure and operational aspects in the conversion of natural gas transmission pipelines to hydroelectric operation and in the construction of new hydroelectric networks

Infrastructure project

large part of the hydrogen transport will now be carried out via gas pipelines. For example, hydrogen can be transported in former natural gas pipelines. At least in theory. In practice, their use has not yet been sufficiently researched. In addition, norms, safety regulations and monitoring standards are missing. That is why the TransHyDE project Get-H2 is building a test and demonstration environment around a test pipeline. What's special about it is that the test field is testing both the conversion of natural gas transport pipelines to hydrogen operation and the construction of new hydrogen pipelines. The project partners answer material questions and guide security and monitoring tests. The aim is to find out under which conditions and with what effort already existing lines for the hydrogen transport can be used. Similar questions apply to the new construction of pure hydrogen lines.
