The surge in interest around hydrogen as a clean energy source has prompted governments and industries to explore its potential in transitioning towards greener energy systems. However, while hydrogen offers significant benefits for decarbonization, its susceptibility to leaks poses a challenge due to potential warming effects if released into the atmosphere. This concern highlights the importance of understanding and managing hydrogen emissions to optimize its climate benefits. To address this gap in knowledge, a collaborative effort involving leading academic institutions, technology innovators, and industry players has launched a groundbreaking research study. The study aims to detect and quantify hydrogen emissions from operational facilities in North America and Europe, leveraging advanced sensing technology and industry expertise to generate a comprehensive dataset on hydrogen emissions. By sharing research outcomes through peer-reviewed journals, the initiative seeks to establish a scientific basis for implementing mitigation strategies and operational best practices in hydrogen systems. Ultimately, the research endeavors to ensure that hydrogen facilities operate efficiently and cleanly, thereby maximizing their positive impact on the climate amidst the global scaling up of hydrogen use.
