HIGGS_Testing Platform_P&ID diagram

HIGGS project aims to pave the way to decarbonisation of the gas grid and its usage, by covering the gaps of knowledge of the impact that high levels of hydrogen could have on the gas infrastructure, its components and its management.
To reach this goal, several activities, including mapping of technical, legal and regulatory barriers and enablers, testing and validation of systems and innovation, techno-economic modelling and the preparation of a set of conclusions as a pathway towards enabling the injection of hydrogen in high-pressure gas grids, are developed in the project.

The test loop is designed as a platform for testing campaigns, and it takes into consideration aspects like safety under varying operation conditions, continuous monitoring of critical parameters and indicators defined for the components and elements to be tested.
