The United States is among the many developed economies that are working toward a net-zero future. The White House has a goal of halving the country’s emissions of greenhouse gases by 2030, and to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. And in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021, Congress dedicated $8 billion for clean hydrogen hubs (H2Hubs) in an effort to spur hydrogen mobility. Similar initiatives and investments, on a smaller scale, are taking place in the private sector.
Hydrogen holds much promise, but leakage is an issue. As the gas with the lowest density, H2 is notorious for escaping from pipelines and tanks. Leaks not only cost a company money, but the gas is highly flammable and also contributes to global warming.
Second, to efficiently store and transport the gas, it must first be condensed using one of the following:
Each method has its upsides and downsides, namely in energy expenditure, operational costs, and safety hazards.
These issues are challenging but not insurmountable. One thing is certain: hydrogen storage and transport require continuous control, which is possible only with accurate, reliable measurement technology.
Where is your company on the road to hydrogen-enabled processes? To help you strategize, plan, and prepare for carbon-neutral operations, the chemical experts at WIKA have created the white paper Hydrogen As a Beacon of Hope. In addition to a hydrogen-readiness checklist, this report offers insights and more information on:
