HCNG ISO TC 197 Initiative
Reason for Action:
HCNG has become a global issue because of P2H that involves the
whole economy and multinational stakeholders
P2H Diagram developed by JRC 10
HCNG ISO TC 197 Initiative
Regulatory Challenge:
Need to control growing number of feeders (both H2 and SNG) into gas
networks as well as gas quality and safety
Standardization Challenge:
Need to address HCNG blends properly because their properties change
dramatically with addition of hydrogen: H2 and HCNG handling, in most
cases, cannot be addressed by the same standard requirements!
Solution:
Establish technical and standardization frameworks for handling HCNG
blends based on concentration mix / properties range and applications
Critical:
Collaboration with technology stakeholders and CEN!
11
Stage One – Short Term
Establish international technical framework with the initial objective to
determine “safe levels” of H2 in CNG for HCNG to be treated as CNG by RCS
Flow: Determine max acceptable deviation of flow properties via devices like
TPRD, flow controllers, pressure regulators
Mixing and Concentration Control Methods: Develop reliable methodologies for
H2 + CNG homogenous mixing and concentration control at required “safe
level”
Calorific Value: Establish max acceptable deviation from pure CNG in calorific
value with various appliances
Concentration Tolerance : Establish max acceptable tolerance of various users to
H2 concentration in CNG
Outcome:
Submit findings to appropriate ISO TCs for adoption into existing ISO CNG
standards (with parallel adoption by EU via CEN process)
12
Stage Two – Longer Term
Establish an international standardization framework via a new TC or PC
within ISO in cohesion with technical framework
HCNG Standardization Matrix: Determine appropriate HCNG concentration
ranges for various alternative energy options and applications (see P2H
diagram) for the development of standard requirements
Appropriate TC / PC Structure: Set up Working Groups and Subcommittees
based on the HCNG Standardization Matrix above
Stakeholders: Ensure all relevant stakeholders are involved
Sponsors: Find government and industry sponsors to fund technical work
Champion: Find a champion organization willing to lead and coordinate the
work of the new TC / PC
Outcome:
ISO HCNG standards for the full range of HCNG blends and applications
covering safety & performance (with parallel adoption by EU via CEN
process)
