Innovative and Safe Hydrogen Transportation Act

This bill requires the Secretary of Transportation to complete a study within 18 months on using pipelines made of composite materials to transport hydrogen and hydrogen mixed with natural gas. The study must look at available composite pipe materials, existing test data, and related standards and federal approvals. The Secretary must hold a public meeting before finishing the study, release a draft for at least 60 days of public comment, respond to substantive comments, and hold a second public meeting to present the findings. Within 18 months after that second meeting, the Secretary must begin a rulemaking to allow composite materials to be used for pipeline transport of hydrogen and hydrogen blended with natural gas.
