Abstract:
Due to the predicted exhaustion of oil and natural gas resources by the end of this century, all industrialized countries are taking steps to find alternatives for hydrocarbon fuels. Nuclear energy is expected to be the main source of electricity production by the end of the XXI century. Electricity, however, has some disadvantages related to storage and losses in case of long-distance transmission. Among other sources of energy, the use of which can be possible in the nearest future, hydrogen is the most promising one. The advantages of using hydrogen as a fuel can be summarized as follows: using hydrogen as fuel can be one of the comprehensive solutions to the problem of environmental protection; hydrogen is an excellent energy carrier; as of today, society is largely dependent on fossil energy, while the contribution of sustainable fuel to global energy demand is limited.
Taking into consideration the above, and the possibility of using a mixture of hydrogen and natural gas as a source of energy, the research has been aimed in the following directions:
- Influence of hydrogen impurities on the physical properties of natural gas;
- the effect of adding hydrogen into natural gas on the metrological characteristics of metering systems.
