Hydrogen blending in gas pipelines faces limits due to leakage: US DOE lab

October 28, 2023 Comments Off

Hydrogen’s tendency to increase pipeline leakage will limit the industry’s ability to blend the low-carbon fuel in natural gas transmission lines, according to research by the Argonne National Laboratory. In Argonne’s modeling, blending 30% hydrogen by volume into gas pipelines yielded a relatively modest 6% decrease in lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions. A major factor in Argonne’s estimate was its finding…
