National Grid brings energy to life by getting heat, light and power to people’s homes and businesses. We’re also at the heart of a revolution to create a greener energy future and are committed to reducing our own direct greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050, in line with the UK’s overall target.
Gas underpins the journey to net zero. It generates the least carbon of all fossil fuels while providing more than 80% of Britain’s homes and businesses with a secure and reliable source of heat and power. By delivering a reliable base to meet the nation’s energy demand, it enables increasing innovation and growth of cleaner, but more intermittent, renewable energy sources. In the long term to 2050, we are looking to deliver low-carbon gas transmission through biogas and hydrogen.
Led by Northern Gas Networks, the gas distributer for the North of England, H21 has already proved conversion of the existing gas grid to carry 100% hydrogen is technically possible and economically viable, through the 2016 H21 Leeds City Gate report.
The design incorporates a 12.15GW steam reforming of methane to hydrogen production facility, 8TWh of inter-seasonal storage, all associated onshore infrastructure and the requirements of the associated carbon capture and storage scheme, scaling to 20 million tonnes per annum by 2035.
If you haven’t noticed, National Grid have been upgrading the gas distribution network for a number of years in preparation for a switch to a Nat gas/Hydrogen mix and a possible pure Hydrogen switch.
Using a gas mixture that includes Hydrogen is nothing new in this country, Town gas that was previously used prior to the switch to Natural gas comprised of a mixture of both Hydrogen and Carbon monoxide.
There has been Hydrogen production for many years in the UK. It is transported daily across our road network system in high pressure trailers and for many years bulk storage occurred in salt caverns on Teeside.
The cities of Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool are at the forefront of research into Hydrogen usage, both industrial and domestic.
East Riding council taxpayers have so far this year footed the £700 bill to remove the two caravans and a further £313 bill to remove the waste and rubbish left by Hull Pete and his friends at West Newton B.
There was a warning posted on social media with regard to a large number of tankers passing through the village last night. The post didn’t mention from where or why, but that didn’t stop porky Hull Pete from jumping in with both feet.
Ziquarat, the Dimlington terminal that receives the Norwegian gas is also well capable of treating the gas from West Newton and is only a few miles away. There is also a lot of knowledge and experience for Equinor to tap into as there has been steam reforming of methane taking place at Saltend for many years.
Ruth too busy counting HGV’s to notice Egdon have applied to generate electricity at Wressle. From latest EA newsletter (01/02/21) “For awareness, Egdon has submitted a permit variation application to the Environment Agency’s National Permitting
Service, for a medium combustion plant. If approved, the plant will be used to burn the produced gases for production of electricity.“
As for Cllr. Birch’s concerns about HGV movements, Rathlin’s estimated figure is no where near Vivergo’s real number of HGV’s loaded with wheat travelling from local farms to Saltend.
Egdon plan to use the gas onsite to generate electricity, from the latest EA newsletter - “For awareness, Egdon has submitted a permit variation application to the Environment Agency’s National Permitting Service, for a medium combustion plant. If approved, the plant will be used to burn the produced gases for production of electricity.“
Bit of a play on words by the activists in their FOI to the Environment Agency to make the “first” claim. What they don’t tell you is that the EA have only been regulating proppant squeeze operations on new sites since October 1st 2013 and on existing sites since 2016. During the period since the introduction of the new regulations, only one other site has applied for permission and a permit for a proppant squeeze and that was for a vertical well.
Tanker capacity 240 barrels of oil. The ‘monitors’ appear to be repeat posting the photo every couple of days. A camera with time/date feature might be a more beneficial item on their begging list rather than body cams, that’s if they are only there to monitor.
Just got to love the awareness page that's not open to local residents, its only for non local anti frackers who don't want to question or debate the information and are gullible enough to provide funds, food and equipment.
Fourprinces, Ineos along with the Triton Power 1200 MW CCGT are big gas consumers at the Saltend Chemical Park. The market for West Newton gas is already waiting and is set to expand further with the Equinor Hydrogen plant planned to be built on the land adjacent to the chemical park.
