DNV 正在为 Enbridge 和 FortisBC Energy 进行氢混合可行性研究。这两项单独的研究将确定可以通过现有天然气管道基础设施安全运输的氢气百分比，包括位于加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省的 Enbridge 的传输系统和 FortisBC 的分配系统。

这些研究是北美进行的最大规模的混合研究，将用于制定安全运输氢气所需的规范和标准，作为形成可持续商业氢气市场的第一步。该项目是不列颠哥伦比亚省通过对 FortisBC 和 Enbridge 的天然气系统脱碳来减少温室气体排放的一部分，同时保持安全性、可靠性和可负担性。

将对两组资产进行单独研究，认识到所采用的独特组件和系统。总的来说，这些研究将建立一个知识库，以确定确定和引入系统最佳和最安全的氢气浓度水平所需的安全、技术和经济要求。整个天然气供应价值链将受到检查，从氢气注入点到管道系统上的最终用户交付点。

“用天然气提供清洁氢气是能源转型的关键一步，DNV 为 Enbridge 和 FortisBC 所做的工作将有助于不列颠哥伦比亚省的能源供应脱碳，并为全球未来的氢混合项目提供框架，” DNV 北美能源系统地区总裁 Richard S. Barnes 说道。

当注入天然气管网或分配到新建或改造的基础设施中时，氢可以成为一种可再生的低碳燃料，以减少温室气体排放并发展低碳能源经济。这些研究是多年开发工作的下一阶段，是 FortisBC 和 Enbridge 建立并保持在低碳和绿色能源领域领导地位的长期战略的一部分。

DNV is executing hydrogen blending feasibility studies for Enbridge and FortisBC Energy. The two individual studies will determine the percentage of hydrogen that can be safely transported through existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure, including Enbridge’s transmission system and FortisBC’s distribution system, both located in British Columbia, Canada.

These studies, which are the largest blending studies undertaken in North America, will be used to develop the codes and standards required to safely transport hydrogen as the first step in forming a sustainable commercial hydrogen market. The project is part of the province of British Columbia’s work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by decarbonizing FortisBC’s and Enbridge’s natural gas systems while maintaining safety, reliability and affordability.

Individual studies will be undertaken for both sets of assets, recognizing the unique components and systems in place. Collectively, the studies will build a knowledge base to establish the safety, technical and economic requirements needed to identify and introduce the best and safest hydrogen concentration levels for the system. The entire gas supply value chain will be examined, from hydrogen injection points to end-user delivery points on the pipeline systems.

“Blending clean hydrogen with natural gas is a key step in the energy transition, and the work DNV is undertaking for Enbridge and FortisBC will help to decarbonize the energy supply in British Columbia and provide a framework for future hydrogen blending projects globally,” said Richard S. Barnes, Region President, Energy Systems North America, at DNV.

When injected into the natural gas grid or distributed into new or converted infrastructure, hydrogen can be a renewable and low-carbon fuel to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop a low-carbon energy economy. These studies are the next phase in a multi-year development effort as part of FortisBC and Enbridge’s long-term strategy to establish and maintain leadership in the low-carbon and green energy sector.
