Sensor Technology for Safe Hydrogen Use

Germany-based Fraunhofer Institute for Physical Measurement Technology (IPM) developed sensor systems and measuring devices that reliably detect hydrogen leaks in pipelines and tanks. The devices utilize various sensor technologies to ensure safety in hydrogen transport and industrial applications. The project was part of the federal Hydrogen Pilot Project TransHyDE, aimed at developing solutions for hydrogen transport and storage. Dr. Carolin Pannek led the sub-project focused on safe infrastructure.
