Four Strategic Areas
1. Securing the European gas supply
2. Improving the safety and integrity of gas networks
3. Developing smart gas networks and gas uses & managing energy demand
4. Improving the sustainability of natural gas supply and use & future energy schemes

Technologies for the Gas Industry of the Future
There are many important technologies and developments that we could talk about – emanating from GERG projects:
Advanced Gas Detection
LNG-Densimeter Development
Robots for autonomous pipeline inspection
Gas Heat pumps
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for pipeline surveillance

Autonomous pipeline inspection robots
Each robot inspects 2 km/day
Can achieve 20,000 km per year, using 30 robots
10 km action range of robot
10,000 docking stations

Gas Heat pump
Gas heat pumps offer a promising
system for climate-friendly heating
technology.

A UAV is:
•a small plane, <12 kg
•with autopilot flight control based on GPS
and inertial sensors
•normally flying below 300m (1000ft)

Convergence of Power and Gas Infrastructure, Including Biomethane and Hydrogen
NATURALHY
What is the maximum amount of hydrogen that can be added to the
natural gas system?

NATURALHY
NATURALHY, an EC-funded project, examined
the possibility of transporting hydrogen in the
European natural gas network as a means of
“greening the gas”
NATURALHY showed that the volume of
hydrogen that may be added to the natural gas
pipeline network is limited
However, an admixture of approx. 10% by
volume is not critical in most cases
But...

There is work to be done - NATURALHY 2?
But there are three important cases, where further R&D is required:
modern gas turbines with premixed burners (a great number of manufacturers currently specify a limit value of 5%);
steel tanks in NGVs and CNG fuelling stations (the current limit value is 2%; but activities to increase the value are under way);
underground porous rock storage (necessary to determine a reliable limit value).
This work will be addressed inter alia in a follow-up project which is currently being set up.

R&D is essential to the gas industry to meet our commitments to:
customers
the environment
It’s very important that GERG and its members anticipate the future and look beyond current industry problems
Collaborative R&D is vital, as it enables:
shared costs, shared expertise and widespread acceptance of results
industry to prepare for the worst eventualities
