Hydrogen is increasingly coming into focus as an energy resource of the future. The EU aims to transport up to 20 million tons across Europe by 2030, with a rising trend in the transportation volume. European gas network operators are seeking to make approximately 53,000 kilometers of pipeline accessible for this purpose by 2040 as the European Hydrogen Backbone. The European Union plans to invest a minimum of 80 billion euros in expanding the pipeline network in the coming years, with numerous new routes to be constructed. The plans also include the conversion of existing natural gas pipelines. Challenges arise from the fact that hydrogen behaves differently than natural gas, necessitating upgrades to the pipeline systems. TÜV SÜD, among others, is responsible for ensuring the safety of the systems through their testing. Equipped with advanced sensor systems such as intelligent pipeline inspection gauges (smart PIGs), a device for examining pipeline interiors, every meter of the pipelines is checked to determine their suitability for future use with hydrogen.

🌍 Exploring New Horizons with the GlobetrottHR Program 🌍 As part of our commitment to professional growth and cultural exchange, Melanie Löscher, a Social Media Recruiter in our German Recruiting Team, recently participated in the GlobetrottHR program, traveling from Munich to Wakefield (Boston), USA. Melly embraced this opportunity to step out of her comfort zone, connect with colleagues in a different country, and gain insights into a new working culture. "The chance to connect with my colleagues in the US and learn from their daily operations was invaluable. Hosting a Connect-Up Call on mental health with my colleague Keira Campbell, engaging in job shadowing with the whole US team, the warm welcome in the office and a basketball game at TD garden were truly memorable moments.", Melly says. The program has not only enriched Melly’s professional skills but also contributed to her personal growth. "Working in a different time zone and adapting to new environments taught me so much. It was challenging, but I found strength in creating new routines and prioritizing self-care through activities like yoga and journaling." Are you also ready to grow?
