By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:
Currently, the possibility of transportation of hydrogen mixture via the Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) is being studied, said TANAP director general Saltuk Duzyol, addressing the online press conference, Trend reports.
He noted that technically, TANAP may transport 2 percent hydrogen mixture.
“However, the decision should be made by the suppliers and buyers,” Duzyol explained.
Spokesperson for Azerbaijan’s state oil company SOCAR Ibrahim Ahmadov, for his part, noted that the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) consortium also studies this issue.
“Hopefully, we will have certain plans in this sphere soon,” he added.
The Southern Gas Corridor, which is comprised of Shah Deniz 2, the South Caucasus Pipeline Expansion, the Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP), and the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) became fully operational on December 31, 2020.
Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) AG confirmed on Dec. 31, 2020 the commencement of gas flows from Azerbaijan. The first gas has reached Greece and Bulgaria, via the Nea Mesimvria interconnection point with DESFA, as well as Italy, via the Melendugno interconnection point with SNAM Rete Gas (SRG).
