Panel Forum at IPC 2004 Addresses
Challenges of Hydrogen Pipeline Transmission

Panel Forum: Challenges
of Hydrogen Pipeline Transmission
A Panel Forum:
Challenges of Hydrogen Pipeline Transmission was
held at the 2004 International Pipeline Conference, Calgary,
Alberta Canada on Tuesday, October 5, 2004. Pipeline
transmission of gaseous hydrogen has become a prominent
worldwide issue. Hydrogen must be safely and efficiently
moved from the supply source to the point of use. Pipelines
represent an optimum method for large-scale, long-distance
transportation of hydrogen. Pipeline transmission of
hydrogen dates back to the late 1930s. The current world
experience covers about 3000 km of up to 0.305-m diameter
pipe and steel grades up to API X65. The pipeline industry
faces challenges in high-pressure H2 gas transmission.
Long-distance pipeline transmission of liquid hydrogen
(LH2) is also under consideration.
The results of this novel panel discussion
help bring the pipeline industry up to date about the challenges
and the initiatives underway for production, transmission,
storage and distribution of this future fuel, hydrogen.
