Odourising Hydrogen Fuel Cells

使氢气变臭;氢气是未来低碳能源需求的解决方案，如果是这样，那么有必要安装嗅觉警报器来识别意外释放的危险。当我们在工业和家庭中使用天然气时，天然气中的气味无处不在。然而，目前用作天然气增味剂的硫分子不适合用于氢汽车。因此，需要确定一种替代燃料电池友好的加臭剂。本项目与NPL合作，通过一套测量技术，研究氢应用，特别是氢汽车中的替代加臭剂系统。通过该项目，我们希望确定新的气味剂，以加速氢在电网中的安全采用。

Making Hydrogen smelly; Hydrogen is the solution to future low carbon energy needs, if so, it would be essential to have an olfactory alarm to identify the danger of unintended release. Smelly odorants are ubiquitous in natural gas as we use them in industry and our homes. However, the sulfur molecules currently used as natural gas odorant is incompatible for use in a hydrogen car. Therefore, an alternative fuel cell friendly odorant needs to be identified.Partnering with NPL, this project investigates alternative odorant systems in hydrogen applications, particularly hydrogen vehicles, through a set of measurement techniques. Through the project, we hope to identify new odorants that will accelerate the safe adoption of hydrogen in the grid.
