As the demand for fuel cell efficiency increases, improving fuel cell performance becomes crucial for competing with alternative energy sources. This enhancement involves optimising both the design and materials used in fuel cell components, particularly in the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), while also reducing material waste.

As the world accelerates its transition to a renewable and low-carbon future, hydrogen, along with its derivatives, is emerging as a critical component for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors and possibly contributing to decarbonized energy security through seasonal energy storage in the long term. Recognized for its clean-burning properties and potential to decarbonize sectors that are challenging to electrify, low-emission hydrogen is poised to play an important role in the global energy mix, offering emission reductions within various industries such as refining, chemicals, and synthetic fuels. However, hydrogen also presents unique safety challenges that must be meticulously managed. This article delves into the critical aspects of hydrogen safety, exploring its inherent risks, the barriers to safe adoption, and the evolving regulatory landscape that aims to safeguard this emerging industry.

Selecting the right heat exchange solution is crucial for enhancing energy efficiency and reducing resource consumption. For large-scale green hydrogen plants, a variety of cooling solutions are available – from dry to wet systems, including hybrids that offer a balance between the two, such as Cascade Cooling. Developed by Kelvion, this innovative solution is designed for large-scale green hydrogen plants, optimising both electrical and water consumption.
