Zero energy penalty hydrogen injection into natural gas pipelines via asynchronous electrolysis and venturi valve integration

The Department of Energy Office of Science awarded a $249,658.17 Project Grant to BST Systems Inc. of Plainfield, CT under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049).

The grant funding supports BST Systems' research project titled "Zero Energy Penalty Hydrogen Injection into Natural Gas Pipelines via Asynchronous Electrolysis and Venturi Valve Integration." The project aims to develop an electrolysis system integrated with venturi valves to inject hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources into natural gas pipelines with zero energy penalty. By integrating asynchronous electrolysis and venturi injection, the system seeks to offset hydrogen production costs and demonstrate a method for renewable hydrogen to be transported via existing natural gas infrastructure. The research has the potential to advance technologies for renewable hydrogen integration and storage, in line with the Office of Science's mission to transform energy technologies.
