Hydrogen Distribution

With the hydrogen energy transition accelerating, the demand for green hydrogen delivery grows, necessitating new distribution networks or upgrades to existing ones. However, hydrogen's low density and increased combustibility pose challenges, leading to embrittlement in metallic pipelines. To ensure safety and reliability, alternative materials like polyethylene are increasingly utilized for hydrogen transport.
