National Gas Transmission

Earlier this year, National gas Transmission’s Innovation Team visited their hydrogen testing facility, FutureGrid, to test the performance of NevadaNano‘s Molecular Property Spectrometer™ (MPS™) sensors against controlled natural gas and hydrogen releases from the loop. They were joined by NevadaNano staff from Reno in the US, DNV’s project scientists, as well as the NGT Emissions Monitoring team – who deployed optical gas imaging cameras to record the leak plumes for later analysis.

The work took place as part of the Multi-Gas Detection project, which also includes a large installation of NevadaNano’s sensors at Bacton Gas Terminal. Today’s findings, and the findings of the project, will be published through the ENA portal later this year.

Gary Collins, from Nevada Nano, said ‘NevadaNano appreciate the partnership with NGT, and the chance to continually develop and innovate our close proximity system with hydrogen blends.’

Jack Smith, project scientist at DNV, said ‘It has been an exciting opportunity to collaborate with the NevadaNano and NGT teams to test their multi-gas detectors on representative gas transmission assets with varying natural gas/ hydrogen blends, in preparation for potential developments in the energy transition. He continued; I look forward to continuing to work with both teams as the project progresses in the future!’

Alistair Carvell, Innovation Engineer for National Gas, said ‘this has been an interesting project to work on and will hopefully help us on our journey to identify gas leaks across the NTS’.

A big thanks to everyone who travelled up to FutureGrid to make the day a success!
