f HyNTS Pipeline Dataset Aplha Phase: Final Technical Report

HyNTS is a programme of work that seeks to identify the opportunities and address the challenges that transporting hydrogen within the National Transmission System (NTS) presents. This will unlock the potential of hydrogen to deliver the UK’s 2050 Net Zero targets. The programme will feed into a number of ongoing hydrogen initiatives such as Project Union which has the aim of creating a UK hydrogen transmission backbone for the UK using repurposed and new-build infrastructure.
The Pipeline Dataset SIF project has two primary objectives.
♦ Defining and gathering the data necessary to ultimately facilitate repurposing of above 7 bar pipelines on the NTS and LTS.
♦ Developing the tools and processes to store, align and visualise data to facilitate effective Integrity Management decision-making during post-repurposing service.
This report provides a summary of the work completed in the HyNTS Pipeline Dataset project Alpha phase to address these objectives.
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.
