The afternoon keynote was given by Jacob Saletsky, an engineer who supports Williams’ New Energy Ventures group in Tulsa, OK. It even developed and delivered training programs for first responders so they would know how to deal with blended natural gas. He noted the company needed to create a specific operational and integrity management program to track and quantify the safety and reliability of the network.

Starting in January 2022, hydrogen from the facility has been injected into a portion of Enbridge Gas’ existing natural gas system serving about 3,600 customers in Markham. The $5.2 million pilot project is a partnership with Cummins and was started in 2018 to help balance Ontario’s electricity supply and demand by storing the province’s surplus electricity as pure hydrogen until it’s needed. In his current role, he is deeply involved in the assessments of hydrogen impacts on and the suitability for compression equipment.įalkiner spoke about some of EGI’s hydrogen projects, including the Markham, Ontario, Canada, hydrogen blending project-the first such project in North America. (EGI), led off the conference with a morning keynote address highlighting key engineering elements in repurposing natural gas assets for blended hydrogen service.įalkiner is responsible for engineering support for all compression and ancillary equipment in the storage and transmission operation at EGI, which includes a portfolio of more than 800,000 hp.

The event, held in late April in Houston, drew more than 140 attendees from a range of companies including bp, Atlas Copco, Cook Compression, Dover Precision Components and many more. Decarbonization-whether pushed by legislation or by company ESG goals-means the production and movement of hydrogen could become a growing part of the COMPRESSORTech2 world.īut there’s still a lot of unknowns about how best to use hydrogen and its effects on everything from metallurgy to valve performance, according to speakers at the COMPRESSORTech2 Hydrogen Summit.
