Chief Observation of Hydrogen Energy: HyDeploy is a groundbreaking hydrogen energy integrated application project-for the first time in the United Kingdom, it is exempted from incorporating 20% of hydrogen into modern natural gas pipelines for domestic use. The project aims to implement the UK's carbon emissions reduction and achieve the 2050 net zero goal.
The use of hydrogen in our energy system is a necessary condition for achieving zero net emissions. -The British Climate Change Commission
This is the first time that the UK has been approved to inject hydrogen into the natural gas network, and its significance is self-evident. Hydrogen can help us go deep into heating, the most difficult-to-reach area of decarbonization. HyDeploy can pave the way for the application of hydrogen hybrid technology, enabling consumers to reduce carbon emissions without making any changes. The project is expected to become the birthplace of a broader hydrogen economy, provide fuel for industry and transportation, bring new job opportunities, and make the UK a world leader in this technology. —Cadent
, the UK’s largest natural gas distributor, officially put into operation on January 2, the UK’s first demonstration project of injecting zero-carbon hydrogen into natural gas networks to heat houses and businesses. HyDeploy is a groundbreaking green energy experiment at Keele University in Staffordshire, helping the UK reduce carbon emissions and open the door to a low-carbon economy. The
HyDeploy demonstration project is used to inject up to 20% (by volume) hydrogen into the existing natural gas network of Keele University to supply 100 households and 30 teaching buildings. The 20% hydrogen blending ratio of this experiment is for the whole of Europe highest. hydrogen is produced by ITM-Power through the electrolysis of renewable energy, and the initial electrolytic cell installed capacity is 0.5MW. According to statistics, heating for homes and industries accounts for half of the UK's energy consumption and one-third of carbon emissions, with 83% of households using natural gas for heating. The 20% hydrogen content means that customers can continue to use their natural gas supply as normal without any changes to gas appliances or pipelines while reducing carbon emissions. If promotes the use of 20% hydrogen-blended natural gas throughout the UK, it can save about 6 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year, which is equivalent to reducing the emissions of 2.5 million vehicles. Britain is carrying out a national natural gas pipeline replacement program, which is to replace old steel gas pipelines with plastic pipelines. The plan has been completed 50%. The new plastic pipelines are suitable for transporting hydrogen.
HyDeploy can be roughly divided into three phases:
- In the first phase, the British Health and Safety Executive (HSE) exempted the private gas network on the campus of Keele University in Staffordshire to conduct a 10-month natural gas hydrogenation test. This is the first project in the UK to inject hydrogen into the natural gas network. In the second phase of
- , after the successful completion of the Keele University test, HyDeploy will conduct a large-scale test on the natural gas network in the northeast of the United Kingdom, involving nearly 1,000 residents and some companies. In the third phase of
- , HyDeploy will conduct a large-scale test in the northwestern region of the United Kingdom, aiming to explore the integration of various networks and customers, and have the conditions to achieve a demonstration across the UK.
At present, British law stipulates that the upper limit of the proportion of hydrogen in the natural gas pipeline network is 0.1% (by mass). The HyDeploy project consortium provided the Health and Safety Executive Committee with a series of evidence including gas safety testing of houses and buildings, gas appliance testing, and gas network material testing to prove that the mixed gas will be "as safe as natural gas." In 2018, HSE exempted the project from conducting a 20% hydrogen doping experiment at Keele University.
Keele University has a unique testing environment-owning and operating its own natural gas network, which can be effectively isolated from the British natural gas main network. The school also created Europe's first "large-scale" multi-energy vector smart energy network demonstrator (SEND) for simulation, development and testing of real-environment energy-saving technologies. Keele University said that residents will not increase heating costs because of the test.
At the same time, the Netherlands and France are also embarking on a 20% hydrogen blending experiment, a 10% natural gas hydrogen blending project in the Klanxbüll region of Germany, and a 5% natural gas hydrogen blending demonstration in the province of Salerno in southern Italy. Operation, some people in Europe have eatenPasta".
