Outcomes

Since the workshop SGN have set up a subgroup with IGEM called LTS Futures. A teleconference was scheduled for the end of March 2020 to discuss strategy of the group. SGN and IGEM have received a proposal for development of change of use standard to transport H2 and CO2 for TD1, TD3 and TD13. The gaps discussed on the 24th Feb have been collated and combined with other gaps from the SGN Future of LTS project as well as other work. The gaps have been transferred into work packages which will be discussed at the first sub meeting. The work packages and writing of standards will be done in parallel. The final deliverable of this project will be a comprehensive report summarising all the work undertaken.

Lessons Learnt

The research undertaken has provided invaluable knowledge on the viability of transporting and storing hydrogen and CO2 in SGN LTS pipelines. The research to date has given SGN and other GDNs the confidence that hydrogen and CO2 can be transported and stored in the LTS pipelines. The gaps identified will now be addressed under IGEM group and standards written to repurpose the LTS pipelines.
