Ask the Experts

Q1) How do you see the level of interest in hydrogen and CO₂ pipeline development differ across global regions?

Each time, the Ask the Experts section focuses on a new topic of particular relevance to the pipeline industry.

We would like to invite you to send in your questions which will afterwards be answered publicly by selected experts from the respective field.

Our topic this time for “Ask the Experts” is Future Fuels & Digitalization.

Q1) How have monitoring technologies like SCADA based systems and acoustic sensors been improved with the emergence of AI?

Q1) How can digital technologies improve overall pipeline safety without increasing operational complexity?

Q1) Where do you see the main possibilities of AI for pipelines in the future?

Q1) What are the primary challenges in establishing a regulatory and technical framework for hydrogen pipelines?

Q1) What are the current best practices for managing and preventing corrosion in pipelines?

Q1)    What kind of data can be collected during remote monitoring and what information can be derived from this data?

Q1) How does repurposing existing pipelines for hydrogen use impact their integrity?

Q1) What technology is available for leak monitoring on dense-phase CO2 pipelines?

Q1) What is the key to success for coating joints in the field ?

Q1) What do you think about hydrogen usage in the heating sector (supply network, house installation, gas boilers)?

Q1) All difficult to inspect lines require some openings to insert/ retrieve the tool. Creating that provision is challenging. Which method is most economical and provides optimized results?

Q1) Do you think satellite-based monitoring of 3rd party impacts will replace traditional monitoring methods such as helicopter-based monitoring?

Q1) With the emergence of Data Centric ecosystems over the whole pipeline value chain (from pipe manufacturing to installation), how and when do you expect publication of standards regulating pipeline data format, storage and transfer?
