Separation technology enables hydrogen to be extracted from natural gas pipeline networks

Speciality chemicals company Evonik Industries AG, and industrial gases and engineering firm Linde, have been working together to provide a way of extracting hydrogen from natural gas pipeline networks through which it can be conveyed. By combining different technologies, the aim is to enable existing natural gas infrastructure to be used more extensively to transport this gas – in particular green hydrogen – so that it can be used in industrial applications or as a source of energy.
