HIGHTEC ENERGY
Hydrogen and Alternative Fuels
“By 2030, 250 to 300 TWh of surplus renewable electricity could be stored in the form of hydrogen for use in the other end-use segments. In addition, more than 200 TWh could be generated from hydrogen in large power plants to accompany the transition to more renewable electricity.”
HighTec Energy will conduct evaluations to estimate the life of metal and polymer piping and pipeline materials (e.g., steel and polyethylene) when blends are used. This information will be incorporated into a publicly available model that can be used to estimate pipeline life given key engineering assumptions.
HighTec Energy will analyze the life-cycle emissions of technologies using hydrogen and natural gas blends, as well as alternative pathways such as synthetic natural gas.
HighTec Energy will quantify the costs and opportunities for hydrogen production and blending within the natural gas network, as well as alternative pathways such as synthetic natural gas.
can be created with optimized results from environmental footprint without giving up much in power production or utilization
