ROSEN, DORIS and SPIECAPAG have formed the Pipeline Transition Alliance, a partnership dedicated to repurposing natural gas infrastructure to hydrogen service.

Broad adoption of hydrogen as a new energy source depends on large-scale, cost-effective transmission, and owners of pipeline infrastructure will play a critical role in meeting this challenge by repurposing existing assets to hydrogen service. Associated benefits of repurposing existing infrastructure may include mitigated decommissioning burdens and security of future energy supply contracts. However, introducing hydrogen into existing pipelines represents significant complexity and risk, given the differentiated properties of hydrogen over natural gas.

The Pipeline Transition Alliance aims to provide dependable, world-class support to pipeline infrastructure owners across all project phases through the skillsets and expertise of each global partner:

• ROSEN is responsible for pipeline inspection, assessment and integrity management services. ROSEN’s cutting-edge inspection and testing technologies allow for rapid, dependable early-stage assessment and estimation.
• DORIS undertakes engineering of the pipeline and associated hydrogen production and conditioning systems. With 60 years of experience in the energy industry, DORIS’s renowned gas processing engineering capabilities support the design of highly efficient and safe facilities.
• SPIECAPAG provides engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for delivery of the repurposed pipeline infrastructure along with new facilities as required to meet the client’s specifications and future demands.
