Hydrogen can be transported through existing pipelines – just like natural gas - as a low-cost option for delivering large volumes of hydrogen.

The high initial capital cost of new pipeline construction, combined with the cost of the required compression stations, constitute a major hurdle to expanding hydrogen pipeline infrastructure more rapidly. As pipeline owners and developers seek to either repurpose their existing pipelines for hydrogen delivery, or as they expand and develop new pipeline networks, the right cost-effective compression solutions are needed to ensure the viability of this industry.
