Problem
Existing natural gas pipelines are susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement and stress-induced cracking when used to transport hydrogen, even at low blending percentages. Replacing or deploying new hydrogen-resistant infrastructure is prohibitively expensive and time-consuming.
Solution
Arculus Solutions offers a hydrogen-barrier coating designed to retrofit existing natural gas transmission pipelines, enabling the safe and cost-effective transportation of hydrogen, including both blended and pure forms. This protective coating mitigates the risks associated with hydrogen embrittlement and stress-induced cracking, allowing for the continued use of current infrastructure without the need for expensive replacements or repairs. The coating is designed to operate at high pressures and accommodate any hydrogen blending content. By applying this technology, Arculus aims to accelerate the introduction of hydrogen into the energy mix and unlock the decarbonization of gaseous networks.
Target Audience
Arculus' primary customers are natural gas pipeline operators and energy companies looking to transport hydrogen through existing infrastructure.
