据管道&天然气杂志网12月9日米兰路透社报道，跨亚得里亚海管道（TAP）负责人表示，该管道(TAP)的开发商已经开始了将氢与天然气混合的可行性研究，该管道将从阿塞拜疆引入天然气。
TAP董事总经理Luca Schieppati周三对路透表示，该公司已启动一项技术研究，我们希望能在明年6月底前做出首次评估。
TAP是一项名为“南部天然气走廊”的400亿美元项目的最后一站，该项目每年将从大型Shah Deniz气田向欧洲输送100亿立方米的天然气。
这条已经开始商业运作的管道，将在今年年底开始向意大利输送首批天然气。
Schieppati表示，对氢混合的任何承诺都可能与2021年7月的决定同时进行，即天然气产能可能翻番。
氢被认为是一种未来可以部分替代天然气的能源，如果使用可再生能源生产，因此是无碳的，就有助于减少排放。
TAP的股东包括BP，阿塞拜疆的SOCAR，Snam，Fluxys，Enagás和Axpo。
由于越来越多的人要求减少对化石燃料(如天然气)的使用，世界各地的许多天然气电网公司正致力于更广泛地使用氢，以延长其基础设施的长期寿命。
欧洲最大的天然气管道运营商Snam已经在其部分天然气网络中试验了10%的氢气混合，并表示其70%的电网已经“备氢”。
今年早些时候，该运营商已与SOCAR达成了一项协议，研究利用可再生气体通过南方天然气走廊输送。

Trans Adriatic Pipeline Explores Feasibility of Blending Hydrogen
Developers of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) have started feasibility studies "The company has kicked off a technical study and we hope to be in a position to make a first assessment by the end of June next year," TAP managing director Luca Schieppati told Reuters TAP is the final leg of a $40 billion project named the Southern Gas Corridor, which will carry 10 billion cubic metres of gas per year from the giant Shah Deniz field into Europe.
The pipeline, already commercially operative, is set to start pumping its first gas into Italy at the end of this year.
Schieppati said any commitment Hydrogen is seen as an energy source that could partly replace natural gas in future, helping to cut emissions provided it is produced using renewable power and is therefore carbon-free.
TAP shareholders include BP, Azerbaijan’s SOCAR, Snam, Fluxys, Enagás and Axpo.
Many gas grid companies around the world are committing to a wider use of hydrogen as a way to extend the long-term life of their infrastructure because of increasing requirements to move away from fossil fuel, such as gas.
Snam, Europe's biggest gas pipeline operator, has been experimenting with a 10% mix of hydrogen in part of its gas network and has said 70% of its grid is "hydrogen ready".
Earlier this year it reached a deal with SOCAR to study the possible use of renewable gases for delivery through the Southern Gas Corridor.
