Trans Adriatic Pipeline Explores Hydrogen Integration with Penspen

Study aims to evaluate infrastructure readiness for renewable and low-carbon gas blending

The Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) has enlisted UK-based energy consultancy Penspen to conduct a feasibility study on introducing hydrogen blends into its existing infrastructure. This follows a 2021 hydrogen readiness study that yielded promising results, though specific blending ratios remain undisclosed.

TAP’s Head of External Affairs and Social and Environmental Investment, Vugar Veysalov, previously revealed at the Belgrade Energy Forum that the pipeline is actively working towards integrating renewable and low-carbon gases. Penspen’s task involves a detailed analysis of TAP’s above-ground installations, block valves, and compressor stations to determine the technical feasibility of hydrogen blending.

The pipeline operator’s long-term strategy is to incorporate hydrogen and other renewable gases, enhancing sustainability and supporting regional decarbonization. The new study aims to ensure hydrogen integration is both safe and reliable.

Stretching 877 kilometers, TAP connects with the Trans Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP) at the Greek-Turkish border and reaches Italy’s gas network via Albania and the Adriatic Sea. Operational since late 2020, it plays a crucial role in the Southern Gas Corridor, ensuring energy security and diversification for Europe.
