Software-based assessment of hydrogen-readiness of pipelines supported by GIS data

This article describes an approach to the assessment of steel pipelines regarding their potential suitability for hydrogen transportation. The assessment is made based on pipeline inventory data available in georeferenced form in a GIS, as well as in supplementary databases, and uses the software platform trascue. PIMS by GEOMAGIC GmbH, combined with an assessment configuration by Veenker-Ingenieure. The assessment configuration is based on the current DVGW (German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water) worksheet G 464, helps determine hydrogen suitability, and provides a useful life forecast. In this way, an overview of hydrogen suitability can be obtained with relatively little effort.
