In this issue of Global Hydrogen Review, discover lessons learnt from the commissioning and building of a green hydrogen plant. This issue also explores a new method of hydrogen production using thermal waste treatment, and delves into a number of other interesting topics including the role of automation, safety challenges, the adoption of hydrogen as a marine fuel, and the importance of efficient power supply in green hydrogen production.

This month's front cover is brought to you by Endress+Hauser.

The journey to a hydrogen future
The pathway to 2030 is set to be one of decisive action for the hydrogen economy, Manish Patel, Air Products, UK, explains.

The reality of building a green hydrogen plant
Brenor Brophy, Plug Power, USA, looks back at valuable lessons learnt from commissioning and building a green hydrogen plant and reviews how they can be applied to future projects.

Turning waste into hydrogen: a new path towards emissions reduction
Uwe Wagner, Endress+Hauser, Switzerland, introduces a new method of hydrogen production using thermal waste treatment and outlines the metrological challenges that must be overcome in the process.

Feel the force
Brian Peters, Interface, explores how force measurement sensors can make production, storage and monitoring solutions for hydrogen more efficient.

Solving the paradox
Carbon capture requires significant energy input, generating more carbon and creating a new problem. Janka O’Brien, Emerson, UAE, explains how advanced automation technology will play a major role in helping to solve this.

Pushing the boundaries
Dr Peter Geiser, Dr Viacheslav Avetisov and Ove Bjorøy, NEO Monitors, Norway, examine how tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) can aid industrial decarbonisation by pushing the limits of hydrogen measurement.

The transformative role of tunable diode laser spectroscopy
Frederic Thielland, David Janssens and Sebastian Fischer, Siemens, Germany, outline the benefits of using tunable diode laser spectroscopy (TDLS) in green hydrogen production plants.

Focusing on oxygen in hydrogen analysis
A. Kigel and A. Shats, Modcon Systems, UK, reveal how advances in in-situ analysis are resulting in precise oxygen monitoring in hydrogen production.

Safety without compromise
Andrzej Janowski, MSA Safety, examines workplace safety risks and challenges posed when producing, handling, transporting and storing hydrogen.

Clearing the fog
Dinesh Pattabiraman and Manish Verma, TMEIC Corp. Americas, USA, address the impact that power supply can have on the cost and efficiency of electrolytic hydrogen production.

Charged up
Nora Han, ABB System Drives, Switzerland, outlines the importance of efficient power supply in green hydrogen production.

Hydrogen’s marine fuel potential
Adoption of hydrogen as a marine fuel is still in its early stages but the opportunity to support shipping’s net-zero journey is clear. Panos Koutsourakis, ABS, explores how hydrogen can fulfil its potential role.
