Sensors and safety

The most important prerequisite for a successful hydrogen economy is that its technology does not pose any danger. Sensors are key to ensuring safety here: Existing sensors for non-destructive testing can be used to monitor structural integrity, and established sensor concepts can be employed to detect hydrogen leaks. However, these available technical solutions are often only of limited use or are very complex. The research and development work into sensor technology presented here serves to demonstrate how current limitations can be either reduced or eliminated entirely in the future.
