Description: Enbridge Gas is evaluating the Enbridge Gaz Quebec network for hydrogen blending with natural gas, focusing on the performance of cast materials like ductile iron and gray iron. Due to limited data on hydrogen compatibility, they partnered with C-FER Technologies to conduct a phased study, starting with information gathering and material testing. |
Description: This presentation covers the incorporation of methane pyrolysis-derived carbon into polymers and Alberta-produced pitch-based materials to create precursors for carbon fibres, aiming to reduce costs and improve quality. By using low-cost feedstocks, the study investigates the impact on filament diameters and mechanical properties of spun carbon filaments and carbonized fibres, highlighting the cost-saving potential of methane pyrolysis carbon. |
