As interest in transitioning to hydrogen as a replacement for fossil fuels increases, there is a need to evaluate existing natural gas pipelines to see if they can be effectively retrofitted for safe, reliable hydrogen transport. EWI has established a joint industry program to conduct rigorous testing, close the knowledge gaps, and develop operator guidance...

A standard electric vehicle (EV) automotive battery can be decomposed into cell level, module level, and pack level. A cell mainly includes the anodes and cathodes, a module includes multiple cells, and a pack includes multiple modules. The three most common metal-to-metal joints in a lithium-ion battery pack are foil-to-tab, tab-to-tab, and tab-to-bus. All three...

The hydrogen economy is forecasted to grow significantly. The infrastructure required to support its emergence means more materials will contact high pressure hydrogen as it is created, stored, transported, and used as a fuel. Seals, gaskets, and non-metallic pipelines are prime examples of polymers that hydrogen will readily encounter along its life cycle. Hydrogen is...
