To support the continued development of hydrogen as a viable energy source, pipeline producers and transport companies must be able to confirm that network infrastructure can withstand a high-pressure hydrogen environment. Extensive testing of pipeline materials exposed to high-pressure hydrogen is absolutely essential to guarantee safety and reliability. EWI recently conducted tests to evaluate the...

As low-carbon energy options continue to evolve, EWI has been exploring related challenges including the qualification of new materials for hydrogen service, concerns related to legacy infrastructure conversion, and thermophysical modeling of impurity interactions. A year ago, we inaugurated our Environmental Testing Laboratory, focused on the evaluation of material properties under exposure to high-pressure, gaseous...

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...
