SmartGasNet project will organise a virtual stakeholder workshop on Tuesday, 24 March 2026. The workshop aims to gather expert input for discussion and provide feedback on measurement for future gas networks. The project searches for expert feedback on flow rates, temperature, pressure, gas composition and properties, and metering station configuration to uptake renewable hydrogen and biomethane in gas grids.

The workshop will explore three different subjects that SmartGasNet is working on. First, there will be a review of several experimental data sources, exploring available experimental data sets, field data, and planned laboratory tests. Then, attendees will debate the specifications for synthetic data sets, clarifying input ranges, process conditions, and assumptions for the synthetic data generation. Last, the project will gather feedback on the requirements of the training data set and uncertainty quantification.

The workshop is organised by the Norwegian Research Centre (NORCE) with the support of the European Gas Research Group, the University of Ljubljana, the Lithuanian Energy Institute, and the Dutch National Metrology Institute. The event is open to external stakeholders, including transmission and distribution system operators, regulatory representatives, laboratories, instrument manufacturers, standardisation committees and National Metrology Institutes. Participants are expected to discuss process conditions that influence measurement performance in gas grids and the topics mentioned above, as SmartGasNet will collect this input for our research. In case you are interested, or you could contribute to any of those subjects, you can register through this link.
