Penspen, a leading UK-based energy consultancy, has been awarded a contract to evaluate the Trans Adriatic Pipeline's (TAP) ground infrastructure for the transportation of hydrogen blends. This assessment is part of TAP's strategy to expand its capacity and support the adoption of cleaner energy sources for long-term sustainability and decarbonisation in the region. Penspen's engineering team will conduct a thorough review of TAP's above ground installations, block valves, and compressor stations to determine the feasibility of introducing hydrogen blends into the existing gas pipeline. The company aims to repurpose existing systems to facilitate the transportation and processing of hydrogen and carbon dioxide, aligning with the growing focus on renewable gases. The project signifies a crucial step towards enabling the transportation of hydrogen through strategic infrastructure like the TAP pipeline, promoting hydrogen generation projects and various usage opportunities in Southeastern Europe. TAP's Managing Director recognizes the pipeline's potential to contribute to Europe's climate neutrality goal by supplying the EU with carbon-neutral energy sources, emphasizing the importance of evaluating the infrastructure's readiness for hydrogen blending. This initiative highlights the commitment to cleaner energy delivery and supports the region's transition towards sustainable practices. By leveraging their expertise, Penspen aims to play a key role in fostering decarbonisation and promoting the integration of hydrogen into the existing gas infrastructure, paving the way for a more environmentally friendly energy landscape.
