Research & Development Center
1. The role of Gas Transmission System Operators in a Decarbonization World
2. Hydrogen contribution in the decarbonization road map
Hydrogen is one of the main pillars in the Decarbonization road map. The main benefits are:
Carbon free
Can be produced with zero carbon footprint
Energy Carrier
Energy transport and storage with a lower cost with respect to electricity
Valorization of the existing infrastructure
Fuel
Zero emission fuel
Decarbonization of the industrial processes
3. desfa’s training centre a pilot project for the injection of hydrogen in the gas grids up to the final consumer
The Training Center can be used as a R&D facility testing the equipment for the max % of Hydrogen which can safely be injected in the gas network.
- Hydrogen will be injected before the entrance to the 70/19 M/R Station in the Metallic Shed training facility and, following the process of gas pressure reduction and measuring, will end to the central heating fzacility of Nea Messimvria O&M main building.
- The Hydrogen that will be injected in the facility will be produced by electricity generated from a nearby Photovoltaic park with electrolysis (Green Hydrogen production).
- The Photovoltaic park at Nea Messimvria is a planned DESFA project already approved by the Regulator (included in the company’s Ten-Year Development Plan).
