Tenaris, in collaboration with CPW, OCAS, Rosen, Shell Global Solutions International B.V., GRTGaz, and EPRG, is actively participating in the SafeH2Pipe Joint Industry Project (JIP) under the guidance of RINA. The initiative aims to establish new guidelines for material selection and qualification for safe hydrogen and hydrogen blend transportation through European pipelines. With support from the European Commission, the project addresses the crucial need for secure and cost-effective hydrogen transportation and storage in anticipation of the growing hydrogen economy. As Europe prepares for an estimated 23,000 km of hydrogen pipelines by 2040, the focus is on adapting existing infrastructure and constructing new pipelines. The project's emphasis lies in understanding the unique properties of hydrogen to select and qualify appropriate pipeline materials. Tenaris, a key player in the project, is leading the materials supply aspect and will engage in comprehensive engineering and testing methodologies to ensure the safety and efficiency of line pipes for hydrogen transportation. The recent meeting at Tenaris's seamless pipe mill in Dalmine, Italy, brought together representatives from the participating companies to assess project progress. The project's significance is underscored by the exploration of how external defects, in the presence of hydrogen, may impact linepipe performance, a critical aspect due to hydrogen's ability to penetrate metal. By conducting full-scale tests and adopting a fitness-for-service approach, the project aims to enhance safety standards and address potential risks associated with hydrogen transportation.
