Hydrogen changes the rules for compression

Hydrogen may be poised to play a major role in the future energy mix, but it is forcing compressor engineers to rethink decades of established design practices. In this episode of the COMPRESSORtech2 Podcast, Greene Tweed’s Philippe Allienne and Sebastien Kohler explain why hydrogen’s unique properties challenge conventional materials, seals, bearings and compressor architectures—and how advances in polymers and composite materials could shape the next generation of hydrogen compression systems.
