Hydrogen as an energy carrier

Innovations around transport pipelines and storages

The race for the best solutions

Intensive work is being done worldwide to reduce greenhouse gases and create attractive options, also for energy-intensive industries - including through the development of nationwide hydrogen distribution networks. The consequence: an increased demand for suitable piping and storage solutions, on which science and industry are already working at full speed. You too can gather new impulses at Tube 2024!

Transfer lines for liquid hydrogen

Just one of many challenges

Transporting gaseous hydrogen is complicated, and transporting liquid hydrogen is even more demanding. To avoid losses and ensure optimum safety, the transport lines for liquid hydrogen must be particularly well insulated. Liquid hydrogen has a temperature of -252.9 °C, making it extremely cold.

When transporting liquid hydrogen, safety is paramount.

When transporting liquid hydrogen, safety is paramount. In combination with oxygen, the cryogenic liquid can lead to explosions. If ice-cold liquid hydrogen escapes through a leak in the transfer line or through insufficient insulation, there is a high probability that the surrounding oxygen will condense. The condensed oxygen in combination with liquid hydrogen can lead to dangerous situations. For this reason, transfer lines for liquid hydrogen are subject to stricter requirements than those for liquid oxygen or liquid nitrogen. In addition, hydrogen can cause components and materials to become brittle.

In short, it is complex to comply with all the regulations governing the transport and storage of hydrogen, especially since these vary widely around the world. This makes it all the more important to experience the latest developments live at Tube 2024.

H2 Summit

Ever since the plans for the hydrogen core network were announced, the energy sector has been discussing the development of the hydrogen infrastructure. Can the German government keep to its ambitious timetable, or do the targets need to be adapted to reality? Have distribution grids and storage systems been sufficiently taken into account? Is the grid correctly dimensioned? And who will actually pay for it in the end? These and other questions will be addressed and answered by top-class speakers at our H2 Summit.

Decision makers are on the Tube.

Whether as a trade visitor - e.g. technical buyer or managing director - or as an investor: The world's most important trade fair for the pipe and tube processing industry is "the place to be". Because in Düsseldorf, people meet at the highest level for new impulses, contact cultivation, professional small talk and big business. At the last Tube alone, more than 2/3 of all trade visitors found new business partners.

If you want to do business and stay in business, go to the Tube.
