Odourising Hydrogen Fuel Cells

让氢气变得难闻；氢气是未来低碳能源需求的解决方案，如果是这样的话，就必须有嗅觉警报来识别意外释放的危险。臭味气味在天然气中随处可见，因为我们在工业和家庭中使用它们。然而，目前用作天然气气味的硫分子不适合用于氢气汽车。因此，需要确定一种对燃料电池友好的替代气味。该项目与NPL合作，通过一套测量技术，研究氢应用中的替代气味系统，特别是氢汽车。通过该项目，我们希望确定新的气味，将加快在电网中安全地采用氢气。

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.
