Spanish Pipe Supplier Tubos Reunidos Leading the Development of Hydrogen Transport Pipeline in Green Energy Push
Key Ideas
- Tubos Reunidos (TR) in Spain is innovating a carbon steel pipeline capable of distributing 100% hydrogen at high pressures, a breakthrough for decarbonization.
- The h2Bidea project aims to expand green hydrogen valleys in Spain, with TR contributing to the development of an environmentally friendly business value chain.
- The project involves a Basque consortium supported by the Basque Country Government and the EU, targeting completion by 2027 with the establishment of the h2TESTLAB.
- The dynamic circuit of h2TESTLAB will assess the damage resistance of hydrogen-compatible components, a crucial step in advancing hydrogen infrastructure technology.
Spanish seamless pipe supplier Tubos Reunidos (TR) is at the forefront of developing a new pipe designed to transport hydrogen. As part of the h2Bidea project, TR is committed to supporting the expansion of green hydrogen valleys and industrial decarbonization efforts in Spain. John Bikandi, the Director of Research and Development at TR, emphasizes the company's dedication to enhancing its processes and products to be more environmentally friendly. TR's project involves creating carbon steel pipelines that can efficiently distribute 100% hydrogen at pressures reaching up to 160 bar, a capability that is currently non-existent. This advancement showcases the potential to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions while contributing to industry decarbonization and fostering an environmentally sustainable business value chain. The project, led by a Basque consortium involving key companies like Nortegas, ABC Compressors, Orkli, and others, is set to be finalized by 2027. The project, backed by the Hazitek research program of the Basque Country Government and the European Union, aims to culminate in the establishment of the h2TESTLAB distribution network. This network will serve as a dynamic circuit to evaluate the damage resistance of components compatible with hydrogen, a critical step towards advancing hydrogen infrastructure technology. The initiative highlights Spain's commitment to green energy and sustainable industrial practices.
