Determination of best practices for safely injecting hydrogen
into the NG infrastructure
The safe integration of hydrogen into natural gas (NG) infrastructure presents a critical challenge due to the absence of a universally accepted protocol for best practices.
As countries increasingly explore hydrogen as a clean energy solution, establishing comprehensive guidelines becomes imperative.
This endeavor involves meticulous evaluation of thermodynamic and rheological aspects, addressing potential hazardous flow conditions during hydrogen injection.
Given the evolving nature of this field, determining optimal practices demands a collaborative effort involving experts, industry stakeholders, and regulatory bodies.
By systematically analyzing existing knowledge, technological capabilities, and risk factors, a framework can be devised to ensure the secure infusion of hydrogen into NG networks.
These guidelines will not only facilitate a smooth transition to hydrogen-based energy systems but also lay the foundation for a safer and more sustainable energy future.

Assessment of the sustainability of H2 injection into the Greek NG network
The evaluation of hydrogen (H2) injection sustainability within the Greek natural gas (NG) network holds significant importance, particularly in light of the SHIMANAGAN project’s concentration on a specific network segment.
To comprehensively assess the feasibility and benefits of implementing H2 injection, it is imperative to extend the examination to the entire NG network.
This entails scrutinizing both technical and economic factors to determine the viability of potential investments.
By analyzing the entire network, we can gain a holistic understanding of its capacity to accommodate hydrogen, the potential reduction in carbon emissions, and the overall impact on energy transition goals.
This inclusive assessment will not only provide insights into the feasibility of H2 integration but will also guide decision-makers in making informed choices about the allocation of resources and investments, ensuring a sustainable and efficient energy future for Greece.
