Trends in innovative solutions to reduce risks hydrogen transportation using – а review
Abstract
Today, hydrogen obtained from renewable resources is not only a promising energy source that reduces dependence on fossil fuels, but also an important factor in the fight against global warming, reducing harmful emissions into the atmosphere. The success of large-scale use of hydrogen depends on its delivery to consumers, the priority type of which is pipeline transport. The proposed article is an analytical review of innovative solutions aimed at ensuring the safety of hydrogen transportation by pipeline. The mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement of metals is given, which is a key factor, deteriorating their mechanical properties, leading to hydrogen leakage in steel pipelines. The created technical solutions capable of ensuring safe transportation of hydrogen are considered, including new functional materials for the production of steel and polymer pipelines. The possibility of transporting hydrogen together with natural gas using both steel and polymer pipelines is shown. Attention is paid to the issue of monitoring leakage and accumulation of hydrogen during operation of the main pipeline.
