The NATURALHY-project: Preparing for the hydrogen economy by using the existing natural gas system as a catalyst
Prepared by O. FlorissonGasunie
NATURALHY
Main political drivers towards hydrogen:
• Improvement of the energy security
• Reduction of the CO2-emission (Kyoto, > 8% reduction by 2010)
• Improvement of regional air quality
Prepared by O. FlorissonGasunie
NATURALHY
The transition to the hydrogen-economy will be lengthy, costly and will require significant R&D
PRACTICAL STRATEGYPrepared by O. FlorissonGasunie
NATURALHY
Opportunity for natural gas
Smooth and short term introduction of H2 into the society at relatively low costs by using the existing widespread natural gas system for mixtures of natural gas and H2
However, …… : NATURALHY-project
Prepared by O. FlorissonGasunie
NATURALHY
Adding H2 to natural gas affects the physical and chemical properties and might have impact on:
• Safety aspects of transmission – distribution - end use
• Pipeline durability
• Pipeline integrity
• End user appliances’ performance
Prepared by O. FlorissonGasunie
NATURALHY
The main objective:
Preparing for the hydrogen economy by identifying and removing the potential barriers regarding the introduction of hydrogen into the society, using the existing natural gas system as a catalyst
Prepared by O. FlorissonGasunie
NATURALHY
Characteristics
• 39 European partners, including 15 from thegas-business
• Integrated Project within FP6
• Project budget 17.3 M€, EC-grant 11 M€
• Start ~01-05-2004, duration 5 years
Prepared by O. FlorissonGasunie
NATURALHY
The involvement of a broad consortium from the European gas industry is important because:
• Differences in the pipeline systems;
• Differences in the composition of the gases;
• Gas companies are very careful with changes (some callit “conservative”);
• To obtain the support of all stakeholders.

Demands infrastructure regarding:• Safety
• Security of supply (quantity and quality)
• The extent of the grid
• Acceptance by the end user & enthusiasm of the gas company
Prepared by O. FlorissonGasunie
NATURALHY
Regarding the safety work:Approach: adaptation of existing safety models for natural gas
Limitation to 0-50% H2 in natural gas
Planned large scale experiments :
Gas Build-up and Explosions in Confined/Vented Enclosures
Gas Build-up and Explosions in Congested Regions
High Pressure Jet Fires
