SUMMARY:Are the UK's gas networks ready for hydrogen?
DESCRIPTION:The hydrogen economy is rapidly transitioning from vision to reality. In the UK\, the first Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR1) has awarded contracts to 11 commercial-scale projects\, with HAR2 set to expand capacity further in early 2026. These milestones are accelerating the shift toward hydrogen integration in the national energy system.\n\n\n\nRepurposing existing pipelines at a fraction of the cost of new builds is at the heart of this transition. The UK’s Hydrogen Strategy\, Hydrogen Transport and Storage Networks Pathway\, and the Energy Act 2023 all identify converting parts of the National Transmission System (NTS) and regional pipelines as the primary route to a national “hydrogen backbone.” Project Union\, led by National Gas\, aims to repurpose around 1\,500 miles by 2032. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, Nigel Curson\, Executive VP of Technical Excellence at Penspen will share lessons from UK and European projects\, covering practical solutions\, technical standards\, and operational changes needed to make the vision a reality. \n\n\n\nYou’ll learn: \n\n\n\n\nThe impacts of hydrogen integration in the broader energy system\n\n\n\nReal-world application of ASME B31.12 alongside US and European guidance\n\n\n\nHow to assess and manage materials and equipment compatibility and defect tolerance\n\n\n\nPhysical and operational modifications for safe\, reliable hydrogen service\n\n\n\n\nReserve your spot and discover how existing gas networks can help power the hydrogen future. \n\n\n\nDate & Time: Monday\, Sep 15th from 1 to 2 PM \n\n\n\nRegister here: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/be377519-99ca-40c0-9149-981ce1dfd087@ac38fa5a-674b-4c32-810a-1aba0bd61a31 \n\n\n\nAbout our speaker: \n\n\n\nNigel Curson is the Executive Vice President of Technical Excellence at Penspen\, a leading global energy consultancy. Nigel has over 30 years’ experience in the energy industry\, working on a wide variety of worldwide midstream energy infrastructure projects across design\, construction\, operations & management\, and integrity. Prior to joining Penspen in 2000\, Nigel held various roles at Andrew Palmer and Associates\, specialising in North Sea oil and gas developments. \n\n\n\nAt Penspen Nigel leads the Centre of Engineering Excellence\, delivering energy transition consultancy projects including repurposing of pipelines and associated infrastructure for hydrogen and CO2 transportation and network modelling.  Nigel also oversees the company’s digital pipeline integrity management platform\, THEIA. \n\n\n\nShortlisted as for the Best Thought Leadership award at Hydrogen UK’s 2024 awards\, Nigel has authored numerous technical papers and studies. He also leads Penspen’s industry training courses: Repurposing Pipelines for Hydrogen and CO2 Capture and Transmission.

SUMMARY:Engineering challenges for hydrogen compression in pipelines
DESCRIPTION:As governments and organisations worldwide pursue ambitious climate goals through greenhouse gas emission reductions\, hydrogen projects have proliferated across what is now known as the ‘hydrogen value chain’ (H2VC).\n\n\n\nHowever\, these projects are typically localised initiatives with limited national or international coordination\, resulting in most efforts concentrating on either the production or consumption ends of the value chain. \n\n\n\nWhile many valuable projects exist in both sectors\, surprisingly little attention has been paid to connecting them. The critical link is hydrogen compression systems (essential for all transmission and storage)\, yet this crucial component has received remarkably little focus. \n\n\n\nGas compressors are the primary technology bridging the production and consumption sectors.  \n\n\n\nThe Energy Institute’s recent research report\, ‘Gas Compressors for 100% Hydrogen Duty\,’ examines this technology and identifies six major applications\, from smaller systems to very large flowrate compressors for gas pipelines and geological storage\, where the greatest uncertainties currently exist.  \n\n\n\nThis webinar builds on this report by addressing common misconceptions about hydrogen behaviour and compression\, reviewing currently available compressor types\, identifying the most promising technological developments\, and examining major outstanding challenges. \n\n\n\nDate & Time: Tue\, Oct 7th from 1 to 2 PM \n\n\n\nRegister here:  https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/39a628e4-1888-43f9-995b-efab098c1f95@ac38fa5a-674b-4c32-810a-1aba0bd61a31 \n\n\n\nAbout our speaker: \n\n\n\nIan is a rare combination of career businessman\, Chartered Engineer\, Chartered Environmentalist and part-time academic; he addresses the hydrogen economy from very much more than a single vested-interest viewpoint \n\n\n\nHe has spent over 55 years in manufacturing industry\, mostly in the UK but also other countries; starting as an apprentice\, he worked through many roles before moving into senior corporate management\, eventually as MD of both UK major hydrogen compressor manufacturers\, Howden Compressors and Peter Brotherhood. \n\n\n\nFor more than 50 years\, Ian has been involved in supplying gas compression equipment to the energy industry globally\, particularly in hydrogen service and knows the sector very well.Over the past two decades\, Ian has successively been a Visiting Professor in Sustainable Energy at Newcastle\, Glasgow and Strathclyde universities\, teaching hydrogen-related topics in each. \n\n\n\nFor the past 29 years\, in his sustainability consultancy\, Engineered Solutions\, Ian has become heavily involved in sustainable engineered systems\, in particular their impact on global climate and ecosystems. \n\n\n\nIan is currently a member of the Energy Institute’s Hydrogen Committee and also of its Strategy Group which is defining the hydrogen framework towards 2030.

SUMMARY:Hydrogen's role in a rapidly evolving North Sea Energy Sector
DESCRIPTION:The recent North Sea Future Plan states that\, alongside offshore wind and CCUS\, hydrogen is one of the three key clean energy sectors on which the North Sea’s energy future will be built. It can support the scale-up of offshore renewables\, provide solutions for long-term energy storage and deliver flexible\, low-carbon power. \n\n\n\nIn 2023\, the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) took on the role of regulator for offshore hydrogen\, becoming the licensing and consenting authority for hydrogen pipelines and storage in the North Sea. \n\n\n\nLearn more about the NSTA work with the sector to ensure that hydrogen’s potential for supporting energy security\, decarbonisation and North Sea transition is fully realised: \n\n\n\n\nThe NSTA’s remit and its approach to regulating offshore hydrogen pipelines and storage\, balancing energy security\, net zero and transition opportunities;\n\n\n\nThe NSTA’s work with offshore regulators\, spatial planning organisations and international counterparts to support the deployment of hydrogen and its integration into the wider energy landscape;\n\n\n\nThe NSTA’s research into understanding the feasibility of repurposing offshore gas infrastructure for hydrogen transportation;\n\n\n\nThe NSTA’s study on the geology and engineering of different storage types and the associated transportation\, processing and subsurface considerations.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate: March 2nd\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE
