Hydrogen Ready Pipelines

R&D Focus Areas:
Pipeline design and integrity management

Lead Organisation:
University of Adelaide

Funding:
Future Fuels CRC

Status:
Active

Start date:
July 2024

Project summary description:
In Australian jurisdictions, pipelines are granted a license for a specific fluid by the regulator of that jurisdiction, such that re-application for a new license would be required to transition from natural gas to hydrogen service. While the licensing process is jurisdiction-specific, a consistent framework for assessing a pipeline system as “hydrogen ready” (within a prescribed envelope) would facilitate a more effective regulatory process during this transitional stage.
