f LTS Futures Grangemouth to Granton Pipeline Assessment of TD/1 Compliance

SGN are undertaking the LTS Futures Project, which forms part of the UK’s national hydrogen research programme to deliver a net zero decarbonisation solution for customers. The project seeks to research, develop, test and evidence the compatibility of the Great Britain (GB) Local Transmission System (LTS) assets, pipelines, associated plant and ancillary fittings for hydrogen service.
The aim of the project is to demonstrate that the LTS can be repurposed to convey hydrogen, providing options for the decarbonisation of power, industry, heat and transport by delivering a safe supply of energy to all customers both during, and after, the energy transition. The LTS Futures project includes a repurposing trial of the Grangemouth to Granton pipeline.
Prior to repurposing to convey hydrogen, the Grangemouth to Granton pipeline is to be audited in accordance with the requirements of IGEM/TD/1 Edition 6 clause 12.4.2.1 noting the requirements of Supplement 2 for High Pressure Hydrogen Pipelines [1, 2]. This is a formal assessment of the integrity of the pipeline and an assessment of the risk posed on the surrounding population.
This report presents the assessment of TD/1 compliance of the Grangemouth to Granton pipeline.
This report was submitted to HSE for their assessment of the safety evidence for 100% hydrogen heating, which can be found at Hydrogen heating: HSE assessment of the safety evidence - GOV.UK.
