Science for energy transition
The “turnaround in energy policy” is currently in the main focus of public opinion. It concerns social, political and scientific aspects as the dependence on a reliable, efficient and affordable energy supply becomes increasingly dominant. On the other side, the desire for a clean, environmentally consistent and climate-friendly energy production is stronger than ever. Gas as energy source
To balance these tendencies while making a transition to nuclear-free energy supply, gas becomes more and more important in the decades to come. Hydrogen is an energy carrier and can deliver or store a remendous amount of energy. Gaseous hydrogen can be transported through pipelines much the way natural gas is today. Efficient gas supply
On the other side focusing on an efficient handling of gas transportation induces a number of technical and regulatory problems, also in the context of coupling to other energy carriers. As an example, energy transporters are required by law to provide evidence that within the given capacities all contracts defining the market are physically and technically feasible.
