Kent will be represented at the upcoming Engineering Integrity Society seminar, Hydrogen Adoption Across Industries: Materials Challenges & Engineering Solutions, contributing to the industry dialogue on the technical realities of scaling hydrogen infrastructure.

As hydrogen moves from ambition to implementation, engineering durability, fatigue performance and material integrity are becoming central to safe, long-term deployment. David Baxter, Kent's Hydrogen Pipeline Materials Specialist, will present on the challenges of hydrogen pipeline design. His session will explore how hydrogen affects fracture toughness and fatigue behaviour, how this differs from traditional sour service design approaches, and the role of fracture mechanics-based engineering assessment within current codes and standards.

The seminar provides a valuable cross-industry platform to examine practical barriers and emerging solutions, reinforcing Kent’s expertise in hydrogen materials engineering and our commitment to enabling reliable, resilient low-carbon infrastructure.
