Hydrogen (H2) plays an important role in the energy transition. Currently, hydrogen is mostly applied in industry, mobility and the built environment. In this infographic Kiwa's hydrogen experts zoom in on these three applications. Discover the role of hydrogen as an energy source, as an energy carrier, for vehicles and for decarbonising the natural gas grid.
To prevent further global warming and combat climate change, worldwide effort is being put into low-carbon, affordable and reliable energy solutions. Hydrogen can meet the energy and raw material needs of industry, the built environment and the transport sector, sectors that are difficult to decarbonize. However, depending on the application, hydrogen must meet certain quality requirements.
In natural gas distribution, odorization contributes to a high level of safety and this will be no different for hydrogen distribution. In this whitepaper Kiwa’s expert odorization Erik Polman takes a closer look at the odorization of hydrogen. What exactly is an odorant? What types of odorants are there? And how do we know whether a certain odorant is sufficient? The paper outlines what experience has already been gained in determining an odorant for hydrogen and also discusses the challenges that remain.
Zero-emission transportation, greater flexibility of the electricity grid and cleaner industrial processes are all necessary to realise energy transition. Hydrogen, thanks to its characteristics, contributes significantly to the achievement of this ambitious goal. Discover the flammability limits in air, molecular mass, thermal conductivity, heating values and the other important properties of hydrogen in a clear infographic.
