Measuring hydrogen, tomorrow’s innovative fuel
Because it can be stored, transported and burned without GHG emissions, hydrogen (H2) is emerging as a potential frontrunner as a clean fuel source. However, transporting H2 must be efficient and cost-effective, a task that requires careful consideration and innovative solutions. This article will examine requirements for effective H2 transportation and accurate measurement in its challenging environments.
