Flow Measurement for Hydrogen Applications

Hydrogen has been an important industrial feedstock for decades in petroleum refining, fertilizer, and chemical industries, but traditional production methods for H2 generate significant volumes of carbon dioxide. More recently, demand for clean hydrogen without greenhouse-gas emissions is rising and poised to accelerate further in the next 10-20 years for a climate-focused energy transition. Methods for producing hydrogen and end uses for the gas are expected to broaden and diversify in parallel as demand grows. That dramatic growth in production and use of hydrogen comes with a need for accurate and cost-effective measurement of hydrogen flow to support a wide range of applications. This whitepaper outlines the emerging end-uses for hydrogen and provides information on flow-measurement solutions for hydrogen to support those applications.
