Research report: Gas compressors for 100% hydrogen duty
- Published: October 2024
- REF/ISBN: 9781787254473
- Edition: 1st
- Status: Current
The Energy Institute's Hydrogen Compression Research report explores gas compression technology for 100% hydrogen use, aimed at supporting the energy transition. The report covers essential details on hydrogen's role, outlining how the industry can shift from a 20% hydrogen blend to full hydrogen systems, detailing compressor needs, standards, and challenges. Key findings address the unique properties of hydrogen versus natural gas, which impact compressor design, size, safety, and performance.
Technically, the report compares hydrogen and natural gas compression, examining factors like compressor types, discharge pressure, and gas characteristics, and highlights the importance of sustainable design. It calls for independent oversight of UK hydrogen projects and recommends mandatory sustainability analyses for new hydrogen infrastructure. Overall, the report is a guide for the energy industry, providing a pathway to safe, effective hydrogen compression aligned with global standards and sustainability targets.
