The rise of blue hydrogen and the important role of pipeline simulation
Following December 2023’s COP28 in the United Arab Emirates, many world leaders collectively agreed to move away from fossil fuels in pursuit of Net Zero emissions. With alternative fuels being considered more rapidly now than ever, many nations have already been investing in the production of cleaner energy, with hydrogen fuel (blue hydrogen particularly) being a primary example.
In this article, Atmos’ Senior Simulation Consultant John Anderton discusses the rise of blue hydrogen and the requirement of pipeline simulation.
The following areas are covered in the article:
- Hydrogen colors eg brown, grey and blue hydrogen
- Existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure
- Hydrogen attack and embrittlement
- Reskilling pipeline operators
- Visibility and understanding of blue hydrogen fuel data
- The gravity of blue hydrogen
As blue hydrogen continues to gain momentum, pipeline simulation software will be a crucial component of effective operations, just as it supports the other hydrogen colors. Find out more by reading the full article in this issue of Global Hydrogen Review.
