Energy industry certification specialist DNV has launched the H2MET Joint Industry Project to advance metrology for 100% hydrogen flow applications. Based in its laboratories in Groningen, the project builds on previous work in renewable gases and CO₂. DNV aims to make the measurement system more accurate for reliable trading, invoicing and other purposes, it said March 5.
Hydrogen is expected to fill a larger part of the energy mix as the world seeks alternatives to hydrocarbons, although its relatively low energy density and small molecules make it an expensive alternative to natural gas.
Norwegian state oil and gas company Equinor said H2MET was a crucial step in driving technological advancements for hydrogen trading and so tests were part of a “safer and more efficient energy transition.”
DNV said that bringing industry leaders in the H2MET JIP could lead to a globally recognised hydrogen measurement framework. This is “critical for scaling hydrogen as a cornerstone of the energy transition.”
