At the Pipeline Technology Conference in April 2024, Penspen integrity experts presented a new technical paper that investigates the feasibility of repurposing existing natural gas pipelines for conveying hydrogen or hydrogen-natural gas mixtures as part of decarbonisation efforts within the energy industry.
The paper discusses how Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) methodologies, traditionally used for natural gas pipelines, may not be directly applicable to assess the risks associated with conveying alternative fluids like hydrogen. Learn the challenges, potential solutions, and modifications needed to assess the risks associated with repurposing natural gas pipelines for hydrogen transportation.
