Characterisation of Energy Gases
Annotation in Czech
Natural gas resources in the EU are declining and the public gas networks need to include alternative energy gases, such as biogas, to ensure a reliable and sustainable supply. To enable gases from non-conventional sources to be used like natural gas, without any modification to existing equipment, the measurement infrastructure needs to be developed in order to characterise these gases. The current standards of measurement for natural gas will be tested for their suitability at measuring the propertiesof the alternative gases. Important measurements include gas composition, calorific value (energy content) and humidity, which are all needed to ensure efficient trade, safe use and transportation. Certain known impurities, such as ammonia and siloxanes, also need to be measured and closely monitored as they can cause problems during gas processing and use.

Project results evaluation
The project developed new methods for the measurement of the composition of non-conventional gases including direct measurement of the calorific value of non-conventional gases. Other important outputs were the construction of new primary and reference humidity facilities and evaluation and comparison of novel and existing techniques for humidity sensing in energy gases.
