Pre-Normative Research about the compatibility of transmission gas grid steels with hydrogen and development of mitigation techniques
This program, part of the Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking under Horizon Europe, focuses on pre-normative research to ensure the safe and efficient repurposing of existing natural gas transmission grids for hydrogen transport. It addresses the critical issue of steel embrittlement by hydrogen, facilitating the development of new European standards and de-risking investments in future hydrogen infrastructure. The initiative aims to accelerate the integration of hydrogen into the EU's energy system.
