In Hungary's 2021 National Hydrogen Strategy, the focus lies on leveraging hydrogen to transition towards a carbon-neutral energy supply. The strategy highlights the importance of electrolysis for producing hydrogen in a carbon-neutral manner using renewable energy sources. While over 95% of current hydrogen production globally is based on fossil materials, Hungary aims to shift towards sustainable methods. The strategy outlines the potential benefits of blending hydrogen into the natural gas infrastructure, with plans to allow up to 2 mol per cent hydrogen concentration in the gas network. This move could lead to substantial carbon dioxide emission reductions, equivalent to the energy content of 48.8 million SCM of natural gas. However, challenges exist in incorporating hydrogen due to differences in physical and combustion characteristics compared to methane. Factors like hydrogen's lower density and higher flame spread rate must be addressed to ensure safe integration. Additionally, issues concerning gas odorisation, material resistance, and hydrogen embrittlement properties on certain steels need careful consideration for a successful transition. By approaching the integration of hydrogen into the gas network systematically, focusing on safety and efficiency, Hungary aims to navigate the complexities of this energy transition.
