Abstract: It can avoid hydrogen embrittlement existing in metal pipelines by using non-metallic polyethylene (PE) pipelines to transport pure hydrogen and hydrogen-enriched natural gas. However, due to the material characteristics, there is a certain degree of gas leakageand permeation in the transportation process of PE pipeline, resulting in energy waste and safety problems. To select suitable PE pipeline materials and determine the transportation parameters, it is necessary to deeply reveal the mechanism of permeation and diffusion of hydrogen/methane in PE material and explore the research methods for studying the permeation properties of hydrogen/methane in PE. In this paper, by means of literature review, the permeation mechanism of gas in PE materials is introduced from the aspects of dissolution and diffusion at the microscopic point. In addition, the research progress of experimental methods and numerical simulation methods for the solubility, diffusion and permeability of hydrogen, methane and hydrogen/methane mixtures in PE material are reviewed. The experimental methods mainly include membrane permeation experiment and full-scale pipe permeation experiment, and the numerical simulation methods include molecular dynamics simulation method and mathematical model method. According to the research status, the problems existing in experimental methods and numerical simulation methods are discussed and pointed out. Finally, the future research focus and development trend are proposed in view of the shortcomings of the current research. This paper can provide reference for the safe transportation of hydrogen and hydrogen-enriched natural gas in PE pipelines.
