Hydrogen

As the energy industry moves toward more sustainable energy options, the safe transport of hydrogen and carbon dioxide is receiving great attention. Quality research and data must be available to support the integrity of pipeline materials and system infrastructure. EWI is at the forefront of testing materials in H2-rich and CO2 environments. Senior Technology Leader...

As a low-carbon fuel, hydrogen has the potential to deliver many benefits as a utility-scale energy source. However, the corrosivity of hydrogen gas poses significant infrastructure challenges related to material integrity for steel pipes. Polymer composite pipes may be a suitable alternative, but their integrity needs to be well understood. To address potential issues, the...

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...
