A new report by NPL outlines the crucial needs and challenges that need addressing to boost the hydrogen economy and support the UK in reaching its net zero goals.
The NPL report, “Measurement challenges in the hydrogen sector”, report identifies measurement challenges in four areas of the hydrogen economy: production, storage, distribution and end-use. Solving these challenges is integral for growing the hydrogen economy and enabling the UK to reach its net zero goals.
They include:
- Reporting the production cost of electrolytic hydrogen.
- Supporting the rollout of hydrogen storage and distribution infrastructure.
- Developing new test facilities capable of advanced material research to support emerging hydrogen technologies.
- Filling gaps in regulation, technical and measurement standards across the hydrogen value chain.
- Enabling the decarbonisation of different industries by supporting the progression of hydrogen end-use technologies.
