Hydrogen distribution is a challenging aspect of the hydrogen economy. The low volumetric energy density of high pressure gaseous and liquid hydrogen can make distribution of large quantities of hydrogen over long distances expensive. Hydrogen transmission and distribution in pipelines is a cost-effective mode, but questions are often asked about the possibility to re-purpose existing natural gas pipelines for this purpose.
This course will provide examples of major schemes that have been proposed for pipeline hydrogen transmission and distribution and outline the testing work that has taken place to confirm whether hydrogen can indeed be admixed into natural gas and under what conditions existing infrastructure can be adapted for use with hydrogen.
If you are considering hydrogen distribution, understanding the safety considerations and technology will be fundamental. This course will provide some insights to support that process.
This course includes:
An engaging virtual training session lasting approximately three hours
Interactive format with dedicated Q&A sections with the expert trainer
Flexible access from modern mobile and desktop devices
A certificate of attendance on completion of the session
Agenda
Attend live or watch the recordings. Each session includes dedicated Q&A sections throughout.
Materials compatibility issues with hydrogen and pipeline steel
Large-scale hydrogen transmission network proposals with integrated energy storage
The differences between natural gas and hydrogen compression
Special considerations for admixing hydrogen in natural gas
Transmission versus distribution, which infrastructure is more adaptable to hydrogen
Liquid hydrogen and syngas in pipelines
The alternative to hydrogen transmission: decentralised hydrogen production
Meet the trainer
Stephen B. Harrison is the founder and managing director at sbh4 GmbH in Germany. His work focuses on decarbonisation and hydrogen is a fundamental pillar of his consulting practice. Stephen’s hands-on hydrogen expertise extends to the full length of the value chain from production, purification, distribution, and storage through to utilisation.
With a background in industrial gases, including 27 years at BOC Gases, The BOC Group and Linde Gas, Stephen has intimate knowledge of hydrogen from commercial, technical, operational and safety perspectives. Stephen served 14 years as a global business leader in these FTSE100 and DAX30 companies and had the opportunity to interact with people, businesses, and operations around the world.
What Attendees Are Saying
“The best part of the training was the level of engagement from the trainer; he was very clear in his explanations and was taking the time to answer all queries from trainees.”
“Slides were informative, good delivery from the trainer, and technology worked well. Good idea to space it out over three days as it was less disruptive.”
