- 1. BIOMETHANE PRODUCTION – CONNECTING TO THE GAS GRID #UKADBiogas @adbioresources CHAIR: STUART EASTERBROOK, NATIONAL GRID PANEL: JOOST LÖTTERS, BRONKHORST HIGH-TECH BV JON HARRIS, MALMBERG RICHARD GOODFELLOW, ADDLESHAW GODDARD DR WILL MEZZULLO, FUTURE BIOGAS KEVIN FERNANDES, IMSPEX DIAGNOSTICS
- 2. UK AD & Biogas William Mezzullo Connecting to the Grid
- 3. Our Biomethane Journey June 2012 Broke ground on first biomethane site Oct 2013 First Commercial National Grid G2G site Q4 2014 First ‘private’ high pressure site 2011/2012 First DAS and Connection Agreement 2015 First 42 bar injection project Q4 2014 Two further sites online
- 4. Connecting to the Grid Checklist • ✓ Location of closest injection point • ✓ What pressure is the pipe? • ✓ What’s the available injection flowrate? • ✓ Is blending achievable? Show Stoppers • ✗ No capacity in the network? Increasingly common • ✗ Limited blending possibilities (higher Opex) • ✗ High pressure pipes (>19 bar) more costly and time delays • ✗ Distance to the pipe too far to make it feasible Work with your GDN
- 5. North Norfolk – LTS connection Collaboration with National Grid • First ‘UIP’ style HP connection for National Grid • Private pipeline and connection installed by ‘third party’ and adopted • Appoint accredited contractor to construct and connect onto LTS • Cost and timescale reductions
- 6. North Norfolk – LTS connection
- 7. Cost of Connection and Design Assurance • ✓ Progress made since 2014 • ✗ Still not enough for pace of industry which leads to costs Propane Addition – Blending • ✗ Still a concern – we need to reduce Opex and improve sustainable image FWACV and burden on Operators • ✗ An onerous process for the amount of gas injected • ✓ Industry working with Ofgem to push this Grid Capacity Issues • ✗ Diminishing capacity on <7bar connections • ✓ Costs expected to come down for LTS projects • ✓ 42 bar plastic pipe? Challenges 2014 vs. 2015
