Measurement challenges in the hydrogen sector.
Key technical hurdles in hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and end-use, emphasising the role of metrology in standardizing and enabling the successful adoption of hydrogen technologies.
The NPL report highlights four main areas where measurement challenges need to be addressed to support the growth of the hydrogen economy
- Production: Reducing the production cost of electrolytic or green hydrogen.
- Storage: Supporting the rollout of hydrogen storage infrastructure.
- Distribution: Developing new test facilities capable of advanced material research for safe and effective distribution.
- End-Use: Enabling the decarbonization of various industries by supporting hydrogen end-use technologies.
The report aims to support the UK’s efforts to reach its net zero goals by identifying and addressing these measurement challenges, ensuring the successful operation and standardization of hydrogen technologies.
