Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is poised to play a key role in achieving many forward-thinking policy and industrial goals in the energy sector. Creating and validating a safe, sound CO2 transmission system, however, will not be easy. There are many technical issues to research and solve, including verifying the long-term integrity of carbon...

While the goal of establishing an efficient hydrogen economy increases steadily, there is still only limited data related to impact of gaseous H2 on pipe steel. Activities in EWI’s new hydrogen environmental lab are underway to address this issue. Required Soaking Time for Hydrogen Testing, a new paper by Applications Engineer Jesse Rhodes, describes work...

In support of industry-wide investment in carbon neutrality with a key component being a transition to hydrogen as a utility fuel, EWI has developed a unique laboratory capability for testing of material properties under exposure to high-pressure, gaseous H2 environments. Understanding the influence of hydrogen embrittlement and hydrogen-assisted cracking on the performance of critical infrastructure...
