Reusing existing pipelines for offshore hydrogen is the best solution that can be used, however, this does come with certain challenges, according to Bart Steuten, Product Development Manager at Strohm, Dutch thermoplastic composite pipe (TCP) producer.

During Strohm’s presentation at The Stage at this year’s Offshore Energy Exhibition & Conference (OEEC) , Steuten discussed the production of hydrogen offshore, what we can expect in the future, the good sides of laying pipes instead of cables, as well as using pipes as storage.
