Improving steel pipelines for safe transport of hydrogen
Hydrogen is increasingly gaining attention as a promising energy source for a cleaner, more sustainable future. Using hydrogen to meet the energy demands for large-scale applications such as utility infrastructure will require transporting large volumes via existing pipelines designed for natural gas. But there’s a catch. Hydrogen can weaken the steel that these pipelines are…

Video: Improving Steel Pipelines for Safe Transport of Hydrogen
The steel used to make pipelines can be weakened by hydrogen molecules that are introduced during manufacturing or when the pipeline is transporting oil and gas. USask researchers used the CLS to generate 3D images of the cracks that form inside the steel, to better understand what is happening at a microscopic level. They found…

Thermal imaging for hydrogen flame detection and monitoring
Visualize ‘invisible’ hydrogen flames, improve situational awareness, and keep technical staff safe. Renewable hydrogen is set to play a crucial role in the energy transition. European member states are already experimenting with this promising energy carrier, and they are testing how they can repurpose existing natural gas distribution networks to bring hydrogen to the consumer.…
Read MoreRenewables to play essential role in product portfolio of oil and gas companies, says GlobalData
Global power generation is increasingly shifting toward renewable sources, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels. While global energy generation has risen by around 30% in the past ten years, renewable energy has nearly doubled over this timeframe. With the share of renewables in the global energy mix forecast to reach over 40% by 2030, it…
