The report presents the most important results of fundamental and applied research conducted at the Karpenko Physico-Mechanical Institute of the NAS of Ukraine and aimed at solving the problem of safe transportation of energy carriers, in particular mixtures of hydrogen with natural gas, using the existing gas transportation network of Ukraine. A methodology has been developed for assessing the technical condition of steels in long-term operated gas pipelines, accounting for the destructive effect of the hydrogen transported by them; the conditions and criteria for their safe operation have been established.
