Considerations and Challenges When Assessing the Conversion of a Pipeline to Hydrogen Service
Gary Yoho – Principal Consultant
Multiple projects worldwide are beginning to investigate the use of legacy natural gas and petroleum liquid pipelines for hydrogen service. In the absence of an industry standard, this paper offers guidance to operators in systematically evaluating pipelines that are proposed for conversion to hydrogen service. Threat assessment methodology, hydrogen damage mechanisms, and the incremental hydrogen embrittlement risk assessment are addressed.

Case Study: ATCO – A Trailblazer in the Decarbonization of Natural Gas Distribution Pipelines
In 2020, ATCO proposed hydrogen blending as an initial step in moving towards a low-carbon future. They see hydrogen playing a central role in emissions reduction across their domestic, commercial, and industrial service lines. ATCO’s Fort Saskatchewan Hydrogen Blending Project will see 5% hydrogen by volume blended into a portion of the Fort Saskatchewan natural gas system to approximately 2,100 customers, making it the highest blend rate in Canada to date.
This case study showcases ATCO’s Hydrogen Blending Project and Dynamic Risk’s involvement in providing industry-leading pipeline integrity and risk management consulting.
