Hydrogen infrastructure and power-to-x: Materials, testing, human factors and safety for a green transition

This webinar will explore: 

• Hydrogen readiness: Understanding the difference between compatibility and suitability, and how FORCE Technology evaluates materials under real service conditions  

• Testing for safety: From lab-scale autoclave testing to full-scale pipeline simulations, we will present how testing supports risk mitigation and operational efficiency 

• Standardization impact and case studies 

• The impact of mounting method on leaks from hydrogen infrastructure components 

• Human factors in Power-to-X: A user- and human-centered approach to optimize safety performance – from design and technology to operation and culture

• How to assess the durability and compatibility of materials—both metals and polymers—exposed to CO₂ in various phases (gas, liquid, and supercritical), especially when impurities are present. This is crucial for applications in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) 

The target audience for the webinar includes designers, technical developers, decision-makers, and anyone interested in understanding how testing and human factors can contribute to safety.

Meet the speakers

The webinar will be hosted by our specialists Ditte Bilgrav Bangsgaard and Patrick Bloch Andersen, who bring expertise in hydrogen, materials, and testing, also contributing with insights on materials for future CO₂ infrastructure. 

Additionally, our Human Factors Specialists, Thomas Koester and Mariam Mastour, will share perspectives on the role of human factors and how these can be effectively integrated into risk management within Power-to-X projects to optimize safety and performance.
