Hydrogen Specific Sensing Systems

Hydrogen engines are more sustainable than electricity and they are not as polluting to the environment as petroleum, new hydrogen fuel cell technology has been produced with less production cost and the efficiency has increased with the fifth generation 93KW fuel cell which is a smaller sized unit.

Its weight less compared to the fourth generation unit 93KW hydrogen powered fuel cell. WorldWise Marine Engineering that is working to develop an electric propulsion system for the harbor tug 50 ton bollard pull harbour.

These fully electric tugs will be powered by 200 kW fuel cells, providing a significant energy saver. Reducing fuel oil consumption by half since the main propulsion motors are mounted directly on top of the stern for an eco friendly harbour tug.

Clean Power Fuel Cells

Reduce utility bills in home or office, to reach the goals of the U.S. Department of energy hydrogen, fuel cells and infrastructure technologies program, it has been reported that hydrogen generated from diverse domestic resources can reduce demand for oil by more than 11 million barrels per day by the year 2040.

Where will you get the hydrogen to fuel a fuel cell car?

Solar powered hydrogen filling stations would be an innovative way of supplying the need to those who are conscious about the environment , this way the electricity is generated by the sun of windmills to extract hydrogen from water such as in Japan has a number of hydrogen filling stations run by the Japan hydrogen fuel cell project.

Germany is already experimenting with wind-powered electrolysis at filling stations. The hydrogen filling station in Irvine california is manufactured by Air Products, Inc., one of the largest hydrogen producers in the U. S

What is already serving the needs of todays industrial demands are centralized production and delivery through hydrogen production and delivery services as well as a limited pipeline system.

It is important to note that to eliminate the safety hazards related to the use of hydrogen is essential as hydrogen and fuel cells play a bigger role in meeting the energy demands of the world.

This is why the U.S. department of energy is implementing safety procedures for operating, using and handling hydrogen systems. For our energy driven economy in order to transition from petroleum, clean fuel sources monitoring processes in the industries H2Scan has created inline, solid state palladium nickel based sensors that are highly selective to hydrogen in newer sectors such as fuel cells and power generation.
