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 Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) recently sponsored a project called “Investigating the Integrity Impacts of Hydrogen Gas on Composite/Multi-layered Pipe.”
The results of this study will be shared and discussed in detail at a special WORKSHOP ON HYDROGEN GAS AND COMPOSITE PIPES led by EWI Senior Technology Leader Jeff Ellis. The program, to be held in Houston on Thursday, December 12, 2024, will examine the current state of polymer composite pipes, explore the latest findings, and address gaps that still require attention.
This free workshop will begin with lunch at noon, followed by presentations and small group sessions from 1:00-5:00. The event will conclude with a happy hour.
While there is no cost to attend the program, space is limited and advanced registration is required. To reserve you spot, visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/ewi-workshop-on-hydrogen-gas-and-composite-pipes-tickets-951068269797 today!
