Hydrogen

Fyfe’s engineering expertise in pipelines and above-ground facilities means we’re uniquely placed to help clients before, during and after the transition to hydrogen fuel.

As an active participant in Australia’s hydrogen industry, working with industry and academia, we’re up to date with the latest developments and advancements.

Fyfe provides hydrogen services from concept and feasibility studies through to technical design for hydrogen generation, transport, and storage. We’re engineering and pipeline experts with the hydrogen know-how to make sure projects are technically viable and successful.

One challenge facing hydrogen in Australia is infrastructure. Fyfe engineers have developed in-house mathematical models that allow us to predict fatigue life in legacy and new pipelines.

Fyfe is part of the ME93 working group, helping to develop ISO standards for gaseous hydrogen refuelling stations, a member of the Future Fuels CRC, investigating the potential of methane pyrolysis for hydrogen production.

Partnering with Fyfe on a hydrogen project means tapping into our broad H2 network and technical expertise.

We actively contribute our knowledge and develop our technical expertise in the hydrogen and new energy sectors through partnering with industry and academia. Activities are as follows:

NERA 

Fyfe is involved in several NERA hydrogen clusters around Australia, giving us access to the latest information and advancements in Australia’s hydrogen industry, while collaborating with cross-sector participants to achieve scale in hydrogen technology.

Australian Standards

Jaron Whalley, Fyfe’s Principal Mechanical Engineer, is a member of the Australian Standards ME93 working group, developing new ISO 19880 standards for gaseous hydrogen refuelling stations focusing on mechanical and non-mechanical compressors.

Methane pyrolysis for hydrogen production

As part of the Future Fuels CRC (FFCRC) with the Universities of Queensland and Adelaide, Fyfe is supporting essential research into the hydrogen supply chain, specifically, identifying the potential of methane pyrolysis in hydrogen production.
