About the hosting projects of this years EGERID
Super P2G – Synergies utilising renewable power regionally by means of power-to-gas
Objectives: Lowering the threshold for need-owners to validate and put power to gas to practice for “Smart Energy Systems”, “Sectorial Integration” as well as “Local and Regional development”.
Background and purpose: The increasing use of renewable energies calls for sector coupling with storage elements such as power to gas technologies. The project aims to design an internationally applicable assessment tool and point out potential areas of application or case studies in Europe. To this end, SuperP2G links leading power-to-gas initiatives from five European countries and increases the visibility of power to gas across Europe.

HIGGS – Hydrogen in Gas Grids
Objectives: Determining the hydrogen compatibility of the high-pressure gas transmission grid and compilation of data on pan-European rules, standards and certificates for hydrogen blends with natural gas at volumes up to 100 per cent.
Background and purpose: The EU Directives on energy and the environment stipulate a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by at least 45 % by the year 2030. Hydrogen from renewable sources can help meet this target. The existing natural gas grids are able to transmit hydrogen. The HIGGS project investigates the impact of blending and transmitting hydrogen through the natural gas grid.

MefHySto – Metrology for Advanced Hydrogen Storage Solutions
Objectives: Investigation and advancement of high-precision metrology techniques and methods as well as of relevant hydrogen standards and sets of rules for different hydrogen storage solutions.
Background and purpose: The chemical storage of hydrogen promises to be the go-to solution for storing volatile energy produced from renewable sources and avoiding energy supply interruptions. This, however, requires reliable metrology techniques, standards, reference methods and suitable materials, which the MefHySto project aims to develop.
