Detection and measurement of hydrogen is difficult to do well, yet the future of the hydrogen economy depends on this enabling technology. Fortunately, recent innovations are rapidly filling the gaps in our capability. There are also numerous other gases associated with this energy transition that will offer opportunities for those that find the right niches for exploitation. So book now and find out what’s happening in this exciting and rapidly moving area.
Our speakers include Nicola Warwick, lead author of the recent study that quantified the effect of hydrogen as an indirect greenhouse gas. Cat Gardner from Ion Science will talk about the company’s perspective on opportunities for sensors and Ali Al-Sikab of NPL will reveal results from their recent survey of measurement needs across the industry. Prof Dame Helen Atkinson MBE FREng will introduce us to what’s going on in hydrogen research at Cranfield and we hope to have a lunchtime tour of Cranfield’s facilities.
The afternoon looks at hydrogen sensing in practice. Grant Forster of UEA will talk about his considerable experience of measuring hydrogen in environmental research, and finally we have 3 speakers introducing new methods to measure hydrogen: Jessica Gabb (IS-Instruments) with a new system based on Raman used with hollow core optical fibre, David Stothard (Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics) with a standoff measurement system, also using Raman, and Scott Herndon (Aerodyne Research) with their new, high-precision (sub ppm) instrument.
The GASG is in the unique position to bring people together to learn about these developments in a forum that provides a high “signal to noise ratio”. It promises to be an excellent meeting, and we look forward to seeing you there!
