Partial Marcellus Flows Begin on Adelphia Gateway Pipe Near Philly
New Jersey Resources’ Adelphia Gateway project converts an old oil pipeline stretching from Northampton County, PA through Bucks, Montgomery, and Chester counties, terminating in Delaware County at Marcus Hook, into a natural gas pipeline. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued final approval for the project in December 2019 (see FERC Issues Final OK for Southeast PA Adelphia Gateway Pipeline). The project converts 50 miles of an existing 84-mile pipeline from oil to natural gas. The northern 34 miles of the pipeline were previously converted to deliver natural gas in 1996. Portions of the final section began to flow Marcellus gas on Monday.

Getting hydrogen from point A to point B by mixing it with and flowing it through existing interstate natural gas pipelines sounds easy. Just hook up to a handy source of hydrogen and let the molecules flow and mingle with methane molecules, right? However, adding hydrogen (H2) to existing methane (CH4) pipelines is NOT a simple thing. There are major roadblocks to flowing H2 through CH4 pipes.
When we say “natural gas exports,” what do you think about? Likely big LNG cargo ships and big LNG liquefaction plants that sit along our coastlines, right? Did you know that until roughly 2020, more natural gas was exported from the United States via pipelines than by LNG cargo ships? LNG exports are a relatively new phenomenon for the U.S. Yet in a short span of time LNG exports have eclipsed pipeline exports and will continue to do so, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), for the foreseeable future.
