The OVERLEAF project is delighted to invite you to its second webinar on “Optical Hydrogen Sensor Technology,” taking place on January 29, 2025, from 10:00 to 11:00 am CET. This session will explore the development and application of cutting-edge optical hydrogen sensor technology within OVERLEAF’s innovative Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) storage tank, presented by the team from Delft University of Technology.
Transitioning to hydrogen as a clean energy carrier is vital for reducing carbon emissions and combating global warming. However, hydrogen’s highly explosive nature requires advanced safety measures in storage systems. Optical hydrogen sensors provide a lightweight, sensitive, and effective solution to detect leaks and ensure safe operation. The webinar will delve into critical aspects of hydrogen sensor technology, including:
- The selection and characteristics of hydrogen sensing materials.
- The impact of reactive gases on sensing performance.
- Integrating sensing materials with optical transducers.
- Optimising optical hydrogen sensors for enhanced performance.
