The High Island Offshore Gas Pipeline System is a natural gas pipeline network in the Gulf of Mexico that has carried offshore Texas and Louisiana gas to shore since 1978.

High River power station

High River power station (潞安长子高河低热值煤电厂) is a 1,320 MW coal-fired power station in Changzhi, Shanxi, China, with two 660 MW ultra-supercritical units burning low-calorific-value waste coal since 2021.

High Sulphur Fuel Oil

High Sulphur Fuel Oil (HSFO) is a residual marine fuel with up to 3.5% sulfur, the dominant bunker fuel for ships until the IMO 2020 sulfur cap.

High-assay low-enriched uranium

High-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) is uranium enriched to between 5 and 20 percent uranium-235, above today's reactor fuel; most U.S. advanced reactors are built around it.

High-burnup fuel

High-burnup fuel is nuclear reactor fuel discharged at a burnup of 45 GWd/MTU or more, a level the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission treats as high, pursued mainly for economic reasons.

High-concentration electrolytes

High-concentration electrolytes (HCEs) are battery electrolytes with salt levels typically 3 to 5 M, where anions enter the cation's solvation shell and change interphase chemistry.

High-entropy cathode

A high-entropy cathode is a battery positive-electrode material in which five or more elements share active cation sites in near-equiatomic proportions, stabilized by high configurational entropy.

High-entropy electrolyte

A high-entropy electrolyte (HEE) is a battery electrolyte, liquid, gel, or solid, that mixes multiple salts, solvents, or ions to raise disorder, improving ionic conductivity, interfacial stability, and cycling.

High-entropy layered oxide cathodes

High-entropy layered oxide cathodes (HELOs) are battery cathode materials in which five or more cation species share a layered oxide sublattice, stabilizing the structure during cycling.

High-entropy oxide electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution

High-entropy oxide electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution are single-phase oxides containing five or more metals that catalyze the oxygen evolution reaction, an alternative to costly iridium and ruthenium catalysts.

High-entropy solid electrolytes

High-entropy solid electrolytes (HESEs) are solid ion-conducting battery materials that mix several cations or anions into one disordered lattice, an approach adapted from high-entropy alloys to raise ionic conductivity.

High-frequency transformer

A high-frequency transformer transfers power at frequencies far above the 50 or 60 Hz grid, typically tens of kilohertz, providing galvanic isolation in switched-mode power supplies, DC-DC converters, and solid-state transformers.

High-pressure grinding rolls

High-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) are comminution machines that crush rocks and ores between two counter-rotating rollers, cutting grinding energy use by 20–40% in mining and cement.

High-pressure water scrubbing

High-pressure water scrubbing is a biogas upgrading technology that removes carbon dioxide by dissolving it in pressurized water, historically the most widely used upgrading method worldwide.

High-strength pipeline steel

High-strength pipeline steel is line pipe steel of grade X80 and above in the API 5L system, used for large-diameter, high-pressure oil and gas pipelines.

High-temperature co-electrolysis of steam and CO2

High-temperature co-electrolysis of steam and CO2 is a process in which a solid oxide electrolyzer cell at 650–900 °C turns renewable electricity, water, and CO2 into synthesis gas.

High-temperature gas-cooled reactor

A high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) is a graphite-moderated, helium-cooled nuclear reactor with ceramic-coated TRISO fuel, reaching coolant temperatures of 700–950 °C; China's HTR-PM became the first commercial-scale plant in 2023.

High-temperature phase-change materials

High-temperature phase-change materials are substances that store thermal energy as latent heat while melting and solidifying above about 300 °C, for use in concentrated solar power and industrial waste-heat recovery.

High-temperature steam electrolysis

High-temperature steam electrolysis (HTSE) splits steam into hydrogen and oxygen using solid oxide electrolysis cells at 500–1000 °C, needing roughly 35% less electricity than conventional low-temperature electrolysis.
