Analysis of the Role of the Latvian Natural Gas Network for the use of Future Energy Systems: Hydrogen from Res

Abstract As EU is steadily moving in the direction of emission reduction, each country must develop plans to decarbonise transport and energy sectors. In Latvia, sector one biggest sources. The heating applications come next. Both require carbon containing fuels a transfer neutral fuel necessary; therefore, hydrogen may be answer achieve overall targets. Latvia has renewable sources, some production, storage use are possible. Currently clear guidelines for have been investigated. existing natural gas network used two tasks: large-scale transportation decarbonisation network. To open networks hydrogen, first evaluations made possible scenario implementation supplying consumers household analysed evaluate with an overarching goal neutrality.
