Characterising representative Australian transmission pipelines in high-pressure hydrogen

R&D Focus Areas:
Pipeline materials and performance, Pipeline design and integrity management, Hydrogen embrittlement

Lead Organisation:
University of Wollongong

Funding:
Future Fuels CRC

Status:
Active

Start date:
April 2022

Project summary description:
The project addresses several industry needs regarding the testing of pipeline materials in a hydrogen environment to characterise the change in material properties. This information is used to create a material database of Australian pipeline material performance in hydrogen service, which allows for the development of new design equations and predictive models. In addition, the project provides a hydrogen testing lab capable of characterising material performance and meet the testing demand currently required by the industry.
