From the article you linked to:

"For process metal piping at pressures up to 7,000 psi (48 MPa), high-purity stainless steel piping with a maximum hardness of 80 HRB is preferred.

Composite pipes are assessed like:

carbon fiber structure with fiberglass overlay perfluoroalkoxy (PFA, MFA) polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP)"

All of these are expensive options compared to battery electric technology, which leverages widespread infrastructure (think electric power lines!), as well as rapidly decling costs (see Tesla's Battery Day announcement on 9/22/2020).



They're not. Some of these are just cheap plastics. Just line a steel pipe with these chemicals and you're good.
