ARCHES is releasing an RFI for Hydrogen-Dedicated Open-Access Pipelines to gather feedback on developing an integrated network of 100% hydrogen-capable pipelines across California. This Through this RFI, ARCHES is seeking input from pipeline developers, potential users, and industry stakeholders on pipeline development strategies, costs, regulatory frameworks, and operational considerations.
ARCHES aims to design and build out pipeline infrastructure similar to the current natural gas transmission system, enabling cost-effective hydrogen distribution, demand aggregation, and connections to large-scale storage facilities. The initiative supports ARCHES’ goal of structuring an end-to-end hydrogen ecosystem and marketplace.
