NPL Report Identifies Challenges in UK's Hydrogen Economy
Key Ideas
  • The NPL report highlights crucial challenges in production, storage, distribution, and end-use of hydrogen to support the UK's net zero goals.
  • Challenges include reducing production costs, expanding storage infrastructure, and developing new test facilities for advanced research.
  • The UK government's commitment to invest in green hydrogen and collaboration with NPL aims to drive the successful adoption of hydrogen technologies.
  • NPL emphasizes the importance of metrology in standardizing hydrogen technologies for wider commercial use and the UK's energy transition.
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has released a report focusing on the challenges faced by the hydrogen sector in the UK. The report, 'Measurement challenges in the hydrogen sector', emphasizes the importance of addressing key challenges in production, storage, distribution, and end-use of hydrogen to support the country's net zero goals. These challenges include reducing production costs, expanding infrastructure for storage and distribution, developing advanced research facilities, and filling gaps in regulations and standards. NPL scientist Ali Al-Sikab highlighted the significant investments made by the UK government in green hydrogen and the importance of metrology in driving the standardization and commercial adoption of hydrogen technologies. NPL is committed to collaborating with various stakeholders to overcome the identified challenges and propel hydrogen technologies as a vital alternative energy source in the UK's energy transition.
