Latest progress in hydrogen pipeline transportation technology
In the current context of"dual carbon",hydrogen energy will gradually develop into an important component of world energy due to its characteristics of cleanliness,zero carbon,high efficiency,and abundant reserves.The long-distance pipeline transportation technology of hydrogen energy is a key technology for its industrial scale application and also a bottleneck technology that restricts its development.Pipeline transportation is considered the best way to transport hydrogen energy over long distances,with the characteristics of safety,efficiency,and energy conservation.This paper provides a comprehensive overview and summary of the latest developments in hydrogen pipeline transportation technology.The analysis shows that in the research of hydrogen energy pipeline transportation technology in China,due to hydrogen blending ratio,safety issues,such as pipe compatibility,leakage and explosion,and incomplete supporting processes and equipment,the technical specifications and risk assessment system for hydrogen energy long-distance pipelines have not been fully established,and the large-scale application of hydrogen energy has not yet been realized.The key to achieve large-scale application of hydrogen energy lies in the breakthrough of core technology for hydrogen pipeline transportation and the establishment and improvement of a standard system for hydrogen pipeline transportation technology.
