(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 6. The Trans Adriatic
Pipeline (TAP) is studying the possibility of installing electric
motors powered by renewables, Luca Schieppati, TAP managing
director, said in an interview with trend .
'At TAP we remain fully committed to making sure the energy
transition, particularly in Southeast Europe, happens in a
sustainable manner. The expansion of TAP represents an opportunity
to implement a series of solutions aimed at reducing the carbon
footprint, cutting fugitive emissions and transporting green gases
(hydrogen and biomethane) in the future. For this reason, the
possibility of connecting the compressor stations to very high
voltage networks is being studied, as well as installing electric
motors powered by renewable sources instead of gas turbines. And
the compatibility of TAP pipes with the transport of hydrogen at
100 percent is also being tested in specialized laboratories,' he
said.
Schieppati noted that TAP is also a participant in the Joint
Industry Project H2Pipe for the development of the world's first
guideline for the transport of hydrogen in existing and new
offshore pipelines, which will not only benefit TAP, but other
transnational interconnectors.
The Trans Adriatic Pipeline, the European leg of the Southern
Gas Corridor, has the initial capacity of 10 billion cubic meters,
with the possibility of doubling to 20 billion cubic meters.
