This issue of Global Hydrogen Review begins with an overview of hydrogen development across Europe, courtesy of Cornwall Insight. Haynes & Boone discuss hydrogen’s role in the decarbonisation of the UK’s energy sector, and the AIEN talks about the challenge of creating a green and low-carbon hydrogen economy. Other topics in this issue include green hydrogen production, measurement technology, pipelines, the maritime transition, and how green hydrogen can help to decarbonise the steel sector.

This month's front cover is brought to you by Chart Industries (incorporating Howden).

Moving the needle
Jamie Maule, Cornwall Insight, UK, provides an overview of hydrogen development across Europe.

Building a strategy
Conrad Purcell and Shu Shu Wong, Haynes and Boone LLP, discuss hydrogen’s role in energy security and the decarbonisation of the UK’s energy sector.

Hydrogen: a springboard for the energy transition
Nuno Antunes, Association of International Energy Negotiators (AIEN), talks about the challenges of creating a green and low-carbon hydrogen economy, and how the AIEN member network is attempting to take steps to support this.

Continuing the green journey
Jon Constable and Stephen Peng, Protium, speak about their experience of using electrolyser technology in green hydrogen projects as end-to-end project developers, outlining the pitfalls and lessons learned.

Decentralised hydrogen – the key to decarbonising transport and logistics?
Richard Yu, IMI Critical Engineering, explains why decentralisation is key to the energy transition, and how applied knowledge of flow control systems is helping to accelerate the hydrogen economy in key industries such as transport and logistics.

Boosting electrolysis efficiency
Michael Immel, Holzapfel Group, Germany, explores how plating solutions can help to improve the efficiency of electrolysis in hydrogen production.

Mitigating risk
Cory Marcon, Endress+Hauser, USA, discusses how hydrogen permeation can pose risks to plants, and how this can be managed with the right instrumentation.

Creating confidence in hydrogen measurement
Mahdi Sadri, TÜV SÜD National Engineering Laboratory, UK, considers a range of measurement challenges for the hydrogen economy, and how these can be overcome.

Developed infrastructure for widespread distribution
For the hydrogen economy to grow, decisive action on investment and infrastructure is needed. Manish Patel, Air Products, explains.

Meeting new demands
Louis Mann and Daniel Patrick, Atlas Copco Gas & Process, USA, and Mazdak Shokrian, Plug Power, USA, discuss how turboexpander cooling technology can support hydrogen liquefaction expansion.

Going far beyond
Marion Erdelen-Peppler, ROSEN Group, Germany, considers the issues surrounding the use of hydrogen in exisiting pipelines, and explains why ROSEN has decided to build a hydrogen test laboratory.

Preparing for the maritime transition
Dr. Gunnar Stiesch, MAN Energy Solutions, Germany, assesses the key role that hydrogen will have to play in the maritime energy transition.

Pipe dream?
Sundus Cordelia Ramli, Topsoe, Denmark, explains why green hydrogen could help to decarbonise the steel sector.
