Page last modified

April 11 2024

SoluForce has developed a spoolable Reinforced Thermoplastic industrial Piping system (RTP or FCP) for hydrogen applications. Unique in the world of hydrogen transport and a global first. With a significantly lower CO₂ eq. footprint compared to alternatives, this ready to use pipeline solution has a major impact on the feasibility of green hydrogen and a sustainable supply chain. Being non-metallic, it is fully flexible, corrosion-free, does not suffer from hydrogen embrittlement and is quick and simple to install

Pros & Limitations

No corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement

Re-usable

Up to 4x lower CO₂ eq. footprint compared to steel pipe production and installation

Maintenance-free (TCO >20% lower than steel pipes)

Flexible & light

Fast and easy installation

Very easy to transport anywhere in the world

Up to 400 meters of pipe per coil

Currently, operating pressures are limited to 42 bar. Operating envelope will increase in the future.
