The successful development of a hydrogen permeation barrier through this project would be game changing for pipeline operators because for the first time, it would enable long lengths of existing natural gas pipelines to be safely converted to hydrogen use.
Our team, in collaboration with our other industry partners such as Nukote Coating Systems, DNV, Equinox Engineering, and Nafta-Gaz Poland, want to tackle these challenges by augmenting TCI’s pipeline leak prevention and containment expertise with testing on the addition of a novel coating enhancement that can be applied using next generation robotics.
