Modeling the gas infrastructure decorbonization process using the example of the Severnaya compressor station
Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the potential for improving the economic and environmental efficiency of gas trunkline transportation by introducing methane-hydrogen mixtures with an H2 content of up to 20%, using the example of a pilot project to construct an SMR unit with CCUS at PJSC Gazprom's Severnaya compressor station. The study covers the technical and economic aspects of production, safety, infrastructure integration, and the efficiency of using methane-hydrogen mixtures in the gas transmission system. Particular attention is paid to assessing the impact of the mixture on gas transmission system equipment, industrial installations, and household appliances, as well as calculating the economic feasibility of the project, taking into account potential government support.
