I have been interviewed by Nordic Energy Research related to the kick-off of five new Nordic hydrogen research projects on Island in October. I lead one of the projects, MatHias, which is focusing on materials integrity of hydrogen pipelines in cold climate. #hydrogen #materialsscience #HydrogenEmbrittlement https://www.nordicenergy.org/article/nordic-hydrogen-valleys-conference-an-important-milestone-on-the-green-energy-transition-path/

Belgian #Doel3 and #Tihange2 Back in the News

Feb 25, 2015

"The years-long saga surrounding the reactor pressure vessels at the Doel-3 #nuclear power plant and Tihange-2 #NPP in #Belgium has taken another turn, pushing these units back into the broader news cycle and renewing calls from some (uninformed) quarters for further worldwide action and/or permanent #shutdowns."

This is great! Norway is aiming to provide #hydrogen to Germany through new and repurposed natural gas subsea pipelines. For safe transport of H2 both countries need to ensure the materials integrity to avoid brittle failure of the pipes. #Materials #HydrogenEmbrittlement

Leder internasjonal workshop om dagen. 80 mennesker fra Europa og Japan. Herlig og hektisk. Punkterer trolig til helga. #Hydrogen #materials #hydrogenembrittlement

Nice day at work! Together with colleagues from Finland and Sweden we have managed receive funding (written a good proposal) from a Nordic funding body NordForsk to do research on #hydrogen gas transport in pipelines between the Nordic countries. #materialscience #hydrogenembrittlement #SINTEF

Application to the Reseach Council of Norway sent! #HydrogenTransport #pipelines #Hydrogen #HydrogenEmbrittlement #SINTEF #NTNU #womeninscience

Ble minner på at jeg har skrevet om temaet her. Kronikk i DN fra 2020. På norsk. https://www.sintef.no/siste-nytt/2020/hydrogeneksport-i-norges-gassror-men-er-ikke-slike-ror-og-hydrogenatomer-uvenner/. #Hydrogen #HydrogenEmbrittlement #rørledninger

I'm a #research #scientist, but I haven't really told you what my field is, so here it comes. I do research on how hydrogen influence material properties. When exposed to H2, H atoms will enter metals (like steel) and reduce the mechanical properties and the resistance towards fracture and fatigue. This is important to be aware of and to quantify to have safe operation under hydrogen conditions. I'm optimistic though. :) #HydrogenEmbrittlement #Hydrogen #MaterialScience #ResearchLife
