Workshop Decarbonizing the gas grid: measurement challenges and standardization

2 October 2023

Dear sir, madam,

We herewith like to invite you to the Decarbonizing the gas grid: measurement challenges and standardization on Thursday 2 November 2023 in Brussels, and via ZOOM.

Introduction workshop
The Decarb Project collaborates with the CEN Standardization Sector Forum Gas Infrastructure (SFGI) to share with you the latest developments about gas infrastructure standardization and the metrology solutions needed to successfully decarbonize the gas grid.

Objectives workshop
The workshop aims to shed light on the critical aspects of transitioning towards a decarbonized gas grid, focusing on measurement techniques, challenges and the essential role of standardization. Expect key-note speeches of state of the art solutions, and future pathways that underpin this pivotal shift related to metrology & standardization.

To measure is to know
The Decarb Project aims to address four measurement challenges that the gas industry need to solve before they can decarbonize the gas grid through introduction of biomethane, hydrogen-enriched natural gas, 100 % hydrogen, and carbon capture and storage (CCS). The project’s technical work package leaders will update you on their latest findings related to flow metering, gas analysis, physical properties measurement and leak detection.

The CEN Sector Forum Gas Infrastructure is the European standardization group driving the energy transition in the gas grid. Keynote speakers will inform you about the industry’s standardization priorities and ongoing work related to (blends of) hydrogen in pipelines.
