The conference will bring together the latest knowledge in this area, from ongoing activities and recent research across government and the gas industry, while sharing knowledge and lessons learned by HSE’s technical specialists, to ensure we enable safe innovation.
It is aimed at:
- Directors of gas supplies, distributors, end users, equipment manufacturers and researchers
- Energy sector representatives responsible for innovation , R&D, and health and safety
- Risk management professionals
- Process safety engineers
- Senior gas engineers who will be affected by the impact of changes in the energy sector
Attendees will benefit from speaker presentations on:
- the future of gas in an emerging low carbon energy system
- asset management and possible transition pathways to transport different gases and mixtures through the gas network safely
- energy vector options that could be transported in the network
- Power to Gas technology and its contribution to decarbonising the gas grid, including HyDeploy, a project which aims to inject a maximum of 20% hydrogen (a clean, carbon-free gas that does not contribute to climate change) into the existing natural gas network.
Chris Flint, HSE director of energy division, said “I regularly meet with stakeholders across the Energy Sector and there is a lot of good work driving towards the UK’s 2050 decarbonisation target.
“I am delighted that at this event we will focus on enabling safe innovation to accelerate progress still further.”
