Hydrogen can support the decarbonisation of industry, transport, power generation and buildings across Europe as well as facilitating large-scale integration of renewables, enabling grid balancing as well as the decarbonisation of natural gas through innovative technologies.
In this context, the CEN-CENELEC Joint Technical Committee 6 ‘Hydrogen in energy systems’ is dealing with devices and connections for the production, storage, transport and distribution, measurement and use of hydrogen from renewable energy sources and other sources.
Moreover, the CEN-CENELEC Sector Forum Energy Management Working Group ‘Hydrogen’, the CEN Sector Forum Gas Infrastructure and the Sector Forum Gas Utilization, combine their expertise in a Joint Task Force on hydrogen in natural gas systems with the intention to support the timely provision of coherent deliverables in the different CEN and CENELEC Technical Committees, which will allow a safe and reliable use of hydrogen in a decarbonizing energy system.
