CO2 and Hydrogen Pipeline Challenges: Managing Specifications, Corrosion and Fatigue Risks
In this episode, Pipeline & Gas Journal spoke with Antonio Lucci, Global Manager of Energy Transition at RINA about the evolving technical challenges facing pipeline operators in the energy transition.Lucci discusses the critical importance of CO2 stream specifications in carbon transport, real-time chemical monitoring and how even small deviations can trigger corrosion risks. The conversation also dives into hydrogen repurposing, pressure cycling, fatigue management and fracture mechanics—and why pressure monitoring models are essential to preventing crack growth and long-term infrastructure failure.
