Gap Analysis on the Impacts of Hydrogen Addition to the North American Natural Gas Infrastructure Polyethylene Pipelines

The existing natural gas pipeline system is being considered as a means to distribute blends of clean hydrogen and natural gas as one component of clean hydrogen’s role in enabling a future low-carbon energy system. With nearly three million miles of transmission and distribution lines in the United States, this national asset is uniquely situated as a transition strategy to assist in the decarbonization of the US economy. 1 This report reviews existing data on the effects of hydrogen on polyethylene (PE) natural gas pipeline materials and identifies gaps where additional investigation is required to fully assess deleterious impacts to the polyethylene pipes from exposure to hydrogen. This gap analysis will assist in determining the feasibility of blending hydrogen gas into existing natural gas pipelines.

Technologist in Residence for Advanced Manufacturing and Materials in Unconventional Oil and Gas Equipment and Infrastructure

The DOE Technologist in Residence (TIR) program pairs a senior technical staff member from a National Laboratory (Lab Technologist), and a senior technical staff member(s) from a clean energy manufacturing company or consortium of companies (Industry Technologist). Each technologist may represent single or multiple national laboratories, or single or multiple companies. These pairs of Lab and industry technologists work together for a period of 18 to 24 months to accomplish several goals: 1) Identify the participating company’s (or companies’) technical priorities and challenges, and the resources and capabilities in DOE’s National Laboratories that may be highly suitable to address them; 2) Propose collaborative R&D efforts to develop science-based solutions to the company’s (or companies’) most strategic scientific, technological, and business issues; and 3) Develop a general framework agreement and begin developing specific scopes of work for the proposed collaborative R&D efforts. The proposed R&D will then take place outside of the program and will not use TIR program funds. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Pioneer Natural Resources were awarded a TIR project by DOE in late 2016 and the CRADA component of the project was initiated in 2017. This report describes work performed under the CRADA agreement between 2017 and 2020.
