AbstractAbstract
[en] Hydrogen sensors are of paramount importance for the safety of hydrogen fuel cell technology as result of the high pressure necessary in fuel tanks and its low explosion limit. I present a novel sensor principle based on thermal conduction that is very sensitive to hydrogen, highly specific and can operate on low temperatures. As opposed to other thermal sensors it can be operated with low cost and low power driving electronics. On top of this, as sensor element a modified standard of-the shelf MEMS thermopile IR-sensor can be used. The sensor principle presented is thus suited for the future mass markets of hydrogen fuel cell technology.S

AbstractAbstract
[en] The hydrogen hype of the last decade has passed and it is now seemingly substituted by the electric vehicle hype. A technological hype can have both positive as well as negative consequences. On the one hand it attracts sponsors for technology development but on the other hand the high expectations might result in disappointment and subsequent withdrawal of the sponsors. In this paper I ask the question to what extent the car industry has created the hype and how it has done so. The industry's role is studied through their prototyping activities and accompanying statements on market entry. I conclude that the car industry has indeed inflated the hype, especially through its public statements on market release after the turn of the millennium. Furthermore, it can be concluded that the industry has shown a double repertoire of both highly optimistic and more modest statements. It is possible that statements are used deliberately to serve the industry's interests whenever needed. Without neglecting the positive influence of technological hype on public policy and private funding for R and D efforts, more modest promises could serve the development of sustainable mobility better. For policy makers the challenge is to remain open to different options instead of following hypes and disappointments as they come and go. (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] This paper addresses a partial but powerful view of the hydrogen economy known as 'technology characterisation' (TC). TC offers particular representations of the supply of hydrogen technologies through 'measuring' the 'state of the art'. This view is seen as an important means of generating political and policy support for technological developments through outlining technical 'possibilities' and 'options' in relation to 'costs'. Through drawing on 10 TC documents a series of practices and issues are outlined. These documents are subjected to critical interrogation as a means of saying not how TC should be applied but in outlining how it often is applied. Our analysis of these documents claims that TC conceives of technological change through a process of narrowly framing understanding of what 'relevant' costs and technological possibilities are. We claim, through this critique, that this dominant way of narrowly characterising technological change in terms of the supply of technology would benefit from an appreciation of alternative 'ways of seeing' the development of hydrogen technologies, particularly in relation to 'contexts' of their appropriation, consumption and development. We suggest that this can be done through the development of two alternative ways of seeing: a Large Technical Systems approach which addresses wider systemic considerations, and localised 'niche' developments in nurtured spaces of reflexive social learning. Through subjecting the practices of a dominant way of seeing technological development-TC-to critique this opens up the possibilities for TC practitioners to reflect on the strengths and shortcomings of their own practices. This, in addition to outlining ways of seeing the appropriation and innovation of hydrogen technologies in specific contexts, through an LTS and niche approach, offers the potential for a dialogue between the supply and the contextualised appropriation of hydrogen technologies and thus for engaging disconnected areas of research. It also provides a basis for research which opens up the possibilities for sensitising policy interventions to contexts of appropriation and use in addition to Technological Characterisations of supply

AbstractAbstract
[en] Hydrogen and fuel cells can greatly contribute to a more sustainable less carbon-dependent global energy system. An effective and safe method for storage of hydrogen in solid materials is one of the greatest technologically challenging barriers of widespread introduction of hydrogen in global energy systems. However, aspects related to the development of effective materials for hydrogen storage and fuel cells are facing considerable technological challenges. To reach these goals, research efforts using a combination of advanced modeling, synthesis methods and characterization tools are required. Nuclear methods can play an effective role in the development and characterization of materials for hydrogen storage. Therefore, the IAEA initiated a coordinated research project to promote the application of nuclear techniques for investigation and characterization of new/improved materials relevant to hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. This paper gives an overview of the IAEA activities in this subject. (author)

AbstractAbstract
[en] The aim of the presented study is to deepen the level of knowledge in the field of low-temperature fuel cells with proton-conducting membrane, using hydrogen as fuel and atmospheric oxygen as oxidizer, and to supplement the missing information on permeability of the widest possible range of commercially available gas diffusion layers. This goal was achieved by combining advanced methods of mathematical modeling with extensive experimental study. The achieved results represent a significant benefit especially for workplaces dedicated to the development of their own fuel cells and the optimization of their geometry for the required operating conditions.

AbstractAbstract
[en] This document gathers a series of short articles on hydrogen's assets for energy transition. Hydrogen as a medium for energy storage and as a link between electric systems and gas, has to be considered as a whole for a better energy transition. Green hydrogen, that is produced through water electrolysis has a multi-role to play: carbon-free hydrogen for any industry, storage energy for renewable energies and clean transport of men and goods. In this document various project involving hydrogen are reviewed. The GRHYD project whose aim is to demonstrate the advantage of a new gas: the Hythane composed of hydrogen and natural gas for household uses. The COSTHY project whose aim is to optimize an hydrogen system as a whole including production, storage, dispatching and use. Several projects are working on various types of electrolytic systems for fuel cells. High temperature water electrolysis (around 800 Celsius degrees) could reach yields of 95% while for instance the PEM (proton exchange membrane)-based fuel cell that operates below 100 C. degrees, has a 70% yield for the conversion of electricity into hydrogen. The SYLFEN start-up has developed an energy storage system that reinforces the energy autonomy of the building by providing power and heat and storing the extra energy supplied by solar panels under the form of hydrogen. SYLFEN system is based on the SOEC (solid oxide electrolysis) technology. On the small island of Semakau, off Singapore, a multi-energy micro-grid has been developed whose hydrogen is an important component, it allows the storage of energy and is used as fuel for hydrogen cars and for producing back electricity for households. The SPHYNX project proposes to develop an energy system based on hydrogen for 2 areas south and north of Paris. The aim is to prove the technical and economic feasibility of hydrogen in local power grids. Hydrogen is a clean fuel whose energy density is about 33 kWh/kg, 3 times more than that of gasoline but its volume density is so weak that hydrogen requires to transport huge volumes compared to oil. The solution of transporting liquid hydrogen is today's solution, its challenge is to maintain a temperature of -253 Celsius degrees during all the transport. The Japanese group Kawasaki is building the first liquid hydrogen tanker whose maiden voyage is expected in 2020. Natural hydrogen is coming directly from the soil in different parts of the world, particularly in Brazil and Africa. In Mali a natural hydrogen field is exploited by the Petroma company
