BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 17
By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:
The Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) consortium is in the process of assessing the degree to which TAP can technically accommodate transporting a blend of natural gas and hydrogen, Vugar Veysalov, TAP Head of External Affairs told Trend.
Hydrogen is an important element in achieving a carbon neutral future and this is something that TAP is actively monitoring, he added.
Azerbaijan plans to transport hydrogen to Europe through the Southern Gas Corridor.
SOCAR group companies are already implementing a number of projects in this sphere. One of them is related to hydrogen production in Absheron to transport it to Europe via the Southern Gas Corridor in the future. It is about the net zero petroleum gas flaring until 2022.
Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), European leg of the Southern Gas Corridor, duly adjusted, will in the future be able to transport 10 percent of hydrogen mixed with natural gas.
It means that TAP will be ready to make 1 billion cubic meters of hydrogen available per year.
