Dexon TechnologyAs Europe transitions to hydrogen, a gap has emerged among professionals responsible for its transport and storage. Stephan Tappert’s upcoming paper, Preparing Pipeline Workforce for Hydrogen: Safety, Integrity, and Competence for the Energy Transition, aims to address that shortfall.
Hydrogen introduces a unique threat profile compared to traditional oil & gas products—ranging from increased risks introduced by hydrogen-induced cracking to an explosive force 12× greater than methane.
Stephan’s presentation will review the skills, knowledge, and safety culture integrity teams need to ensure a safe transition to hydrogen service—and, more importantly, offer guidance on how teams can bridge the gap.
After all, an integrity program is only as strong as the humans running it.
Dexon’s European & Middle East & Africa team will also be there with a booth. They will be accompanied by our 4-in. UT metal loss tool fresh off a successful run in France.
Looking forward to the great conversations and hope to see you there.
