Abstract

With the United Kingdom aiming to achieve net zero by 2050, there is growing interest in the use of hydrogen as an alternative low carbon energy source. However, transportation and storage of hydrogen is a challenge, being an odourless, colourless gas and highly flammable, containment and leak prevention is critical. Measurement of the permeability of hydrogen through the polymers and composites used to contain the gas is therefore a key issue. This report describes the research that has been conducted to design, construct and demonstrate the measurement capability of a hydrogen permeability measurement cell.
