Parmelia gas pipeline conversion project, Australia
Name of the Project
Parmelia gas pipeline conversion project.
Location
South of Perth, in Western Australia.
Project Owner/s
APA Group.
Project Description
The Parmelia gas pipeline mainline is about 416 km long and transports gas from the Perth basin gasfields, near Dongara, the Carnarvon basin (through the Dampier to Bunbury natural gas pipeline) and APA’s Mondarra gas storage facility to the Kwinana Industrial Area, south of Perth.
In Phase 1 of the project, APA developed a hypothesis for hydrogen performance by conducting material tests of base metal in air, and completing mathematical modelling to predict its behaviour when exposed to hydrogen.
In Phase 2, pressurised hydrogen laboratory testing has confirmed the technical feasibility of converting a 43 km section of the Parmelia pipeline to carry 100% hydrogen or blended hydrogen without reducing the operating pressure.
Phase 3 will include detailed safety studies and conversion plans, while the investigation of potential supply and offtake opportunities will continue.
