The Challenge for Hydrogen Blending Into Pipe Lines
Hydrogen is probably the sort of most commonly discussed strategy to replace natural gas with hydrogen. Hydrogen, i've heard from people that are much more technically inclined than i am, is just a gas to work with. It does not want to stay contained. And so readying the intrstructure itself to accept meaningful amounts of hydrogen without having significant amounts leaking out or corroding those pipe lines. That's another non trivial challenge, but actually one I think can be done at relatively palatable cost in many cases. But once you get up to twen, 30, forty %, even hydrogen by energy content, would need to start making significant changes to their processes and suffer from critical safety
