• The individual technologies more
advanced than generally presumed
• The concept as an integrated
production system remains to be
proven on a larger scale.

The role of future gas grids
• Exist ing natural gas networks can
handle max 20% of H2 in the pipel ine
• What the carbon steel natural gas
pipes can handle due to the
material propert ies.
• Very few modif icat ion necessary i f
the hydrogen concentrat ion is below
15%

The role of future gas grids
Danish grid tests
• In case the gr id is connected to ei ther f i l l ing stat ions, gas turbines
or any gas engines, the percentage of hydrogen that can be
to lerated drops to 2%.
• Previous conclusion:
• maximum of 2% can be in jected into natural gas gr ids i f
connected to CNG f i l l ing stat ions;
• maximum of 5% i f the gr id is not connected to CNG f i l l ing
stat ions, gas turbines and most gas engines;
• maximum of 10% i f the gr id is not connected to f i l l ing stat ions,
gas turbines and or gas engines.

Advantages of
electrofuels
Improved flexibility of the system
Cross-sector integration
Flexibility of fuel choice
Conversion of electricity into form of liquid or
gaseous fuels
Reduction of CO2 emissions in case of CO2
recycling pathways
Reduction of biomass usage for fuel
production in case of biomass hydrogenation
No big infrastructure adaptations
