hydrogen sensor to ensure that the mixture is the right concentration for
safe operation. Along the distribution pipeline, hydrogen sensors could be
used to con昀椀rm downstream concentration and support energy metering
and customer invoicing. Finally, hydrogen sensors could be used for home
safety, much like a smoke alarm, to ensure that leaks are detected early
before hazardous concentration levels are reached.
In transportation, there has been success in large vehicles using hydrogen,
and there have been regional pilot programmes in small vehicles as well.
These vehicles use fuel cells which use hydrogen and oxygen to make
electricity, and output water. If hydrogen is not fully utilised or ti leaks into
the exhaust water, there can be risks associated with the out streams from
these devices. In addition to large vehicles and personal vehicles, fuel cells
are also being used for hydrogen-fuelled forklifts. Once again, hydrogen
sensors will be used to detect hydrogen leaks to ensure safe operations in
this application.
Conclusion
The future of the hydrogen economy is bright and wil be an important part of
global decarbonisation initiatives. Hydrogen sensors will play a critical safety
role in many aspects of the development and eventual deployment of a
global hydrogen economy - in industrial applications as well as in the home.
