Fuelling a green future
Fuelling a green future
As part of the global drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions there is a pressing need to move towards clean fuels for energy. The use of hydrogen as a replacement for natural gas in the gas grid networks is seen as a major contributor to meeting this objective.
Manufacturers, gas network companies and governments are working closely together to address a number of technical challenges before this change can become a reality.
TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory is a world leading centre for flow metrology research and development, and is helping to address those challenges by building a new hydrogen flow measurement facility.
This facility provides a platform to investigate not only the performance of flow meters but also other components and instrumentation designed specifically for hydrogen service. The findings from the research and testing carried out at this facility will help provide the fundamental information that will allow the switch to hydrogen to take place safely, ensure the end users are billed accurately and give gas suppliers economic certainty.
TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory is the UK’s Designated Institute for Flow Measurement, under contract from DSIT, and part of the UK’s National Measurement System. It provides the UK’s measurement traceability that underpins all flow measurements, and transactions based upon these.
