H2scan Keeps Rocket Production Safe
Our hydrogen monitors are not yet in space – but they are helping a private rocket company to get there. The company has employed H2scan’s HY-ALERTA™ 2620 to provide safety monitoring of the hydrogen fuel at its facility. The company uses hydrogen in its rockets, so it has enormous quantities running through pipelines at the facility. By implementing the HY-ALERTA 2620, the rocket facility is able to monitor the hydrogen pipelines for leaks to prevent explosions.
The HY-ALERTA 2620 is an explosion proof area hydrogen monitor designed to detect and/or measure hydrogen. The hydrogen specific solid-state sensor can monitor hydrogen concentrations as low as 4000 ppm and can be scaled to any concentration up to 5% hydrogen by volume, a range representing 10% to 125% of hydrogen’s low flammability limit.

Power-to-Gas Hydrogen Measurement
Power-to-gas (P2G) involves converting wind and solar sources into hydrogen and is a market that is expected to reach $42 million by 2024. As different regions begin to invest efforts in this market, H2scan’s HY-OPTIMA™ 2700 Series is an ideal solution to provide real-time, hydrogen specific measurements. Gas transmission companies in Southern California and Europe have already begun testing the HY-OPTIMA™ 2700 Series, which performed successfully against other analyzers. To learn more and to order a HY-OPTIMA™ 2700 Series unit for testing, contact us.

Webinar Replay: Hydrogen Monitoring in Transformers
Last week, H2scan’s Leon White, VP Transformer Sales and Business Development, presented the webinar, “Hydrogen in Transformers.” The webinar explored why it’s important to measure hydrogen, technologies available to measure hydrogen in transformers, how utilities can monitor any oil filled transformer and more. A professional development hour (PDH) credit was also offered. The webinar had registrants from more than 20 countries. If you missed it, you can visit the replay here.

H2scan Article Shows How Oil Industry Can Achieve Cost Savings
Last month, H2scan’s Gid Herman, Director of Sales And Business Development, authored “Achieve Refinery Cost Savings with Real-Time Hydrogen Measurement” in the November 2020 issue of Hydrocarbon Processing. The article explores the impact COVID-19 has had on the oil industry, the importance of hydrogen monitoring and how hydrogen sensors can help refineries save money during this challenging time.

Hydrogen Economy News Bytes
Toyota & Iwatani Corp. Support Hydrogen in So. California As Toyota prepares to roll out the second-generation of its fuel cell car, the Mirai, the company has entered a partnership with Iwatani Corporation to make more hydrogen fueling stations available in Southern California. Each fuel station will have two dispensers capable of dispensing a total of up to 900 kilograms of hydrogen per day, boosting the hydrogen dispensing capacity of Southern California by 6,300 kilograms per day. Keep reading.
UN Green Hydrogen Catapult Several large energy companies have joined the UN Green Hydrogen Catapult as part of an effort to lower the cost of hydrogen production. The goal is for the cost of hydrogen to be $2/kg by 2026, which is about half the current price. Project participants include a Danish wind turbine manufacturer, Spanish power renewable energy developers, an Italian gas network and others. Learn more.
Zero-Emissions Airbus Airbus is looking to build the world’s first zero-emissions commercial aircraft by 2035. The company announced its ZEROe concept aircraft, which will be powered by hydrogen. The aircraft will include modified gas turbine engines burning liquid hydrogen as fuel and hydrogen fuel cells to create electrical power complementing the gas turbine. Keep reading.
