The U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) this week announced $18 million for nine projects to accelerate research that supports the detection and quantification of hydrogen emissions throughout the supply chain.
Hydrogen detection methods today are primarily focused on leaks that could pose a fire hazard, typically at volumes of parts per million. Significantly lower concentration leaks may have a climate impact without posing an immediate safety hazard. ARPA-E's Exploratory Topic M: H2SENSE projects will work to create a new generation of sensors to detect and quantify concentrations of hydrogen in the range of parts per billion.
Teams selected under H2SENSE will seek to develop fully integrated systems that incorporate sensors, data transmission, dispersion and quantification analyses, and any peripheral components and modeling necessary for operation, calibration, and the accurate quantification of hydrogen.
