Contractors for the provision of hydrogen end user skills and standards for heat supporting research and evidence
BEIS intends to appoint contractors to undertake desk based research and field work on hydrogen to support the development of standards required for the re-purposing of existing gas infrastructure downstream of the emergency control valve to be used with hydrogen. This programme will serve to support and inform future policy appraisal in Government and to inform the development of policies and measures to meet UK carbon budgets. The work covers a range of priority research areas to support the creation of standards...

Lots
Lot 1 Research and evidence gathering for piped systems with respect for hydrogen for: i) purging, ii) tightness and material compatibility
£250,000
Description: Lot 1 will address two focus areas. i) purging of systems which aims to identify where additional data is required to permit the development of safe purging procedures for both domestic and non-domestic environments. ii) gas tightness and material compatibility of existing pipework and fittings downstream of the emergency control valve (ECV) for...
Delivery: United Kingdom
Lot 2 Research and evidence gathering for material and component suitability - domestic and non-domestic for hydrogen
£200,000
The aim lot 2 is to determine materials which are suitable for use with hydrogen. The work will initially consist of a literature search followed by experimental testing (where the literature search concludes additional evidence is required) to quantify the relative risk of using these materials for components downstream of the emergency control valve (ECV)...

Lot 3 Research and evidence gathering for installation ventilation and flues
£250,000
: Lot 3 will undertake a set of scenario specific ventilation and flueing projects to address specific gaps in the evidence base. The work is not seeking to examine whole property ventilation. It is intended to provide evidence to understand the requirements of specific sub-categories of installation work such as ventilation of inter floor piping/voids and f...

Lot 4 Research and evidence gathering for pipe sizing and pressure drop criteria with respect to hydrogen
£100,000
The aim of lot 4 is to confirm an appropriate and standardised methodology to be applied to installation pipework sizing (i.e. downstream of the ECV and meter). This will ensure that such pipework has adequate capacity to deliver the flow of hydrogen (per mass or per volume) required to deliver the same flow of energy required to hydrogen burning appliances....
Delivery: United Kingdom
Lot 5 Research and evidence gathering for hydrogen: i) meter, internal and external, ventilation study, ii) installation and set point of excess flow valves (EFV).
£125,000
: Lot 5 will address two focus areas. i) a meter ventilation study to consider representative, internal and external, meter housing, design considerations including necessary clearances, ventilation requirements for gas and the potential for humidity/water build up. ii) an excess flow valve (EFV) study to consider items such as the installation and calibrati...
