WITH sustainability firmly anchored in the Middle East’s strategic ambitions and beyond, we are at a crucial juncture where green hydrogen is emerging as a cornerstone in our pursuit of low-carbon energy solutions.
“As we approach 2030, the role of precise measurement and standardisation in this sector is critical—not just for technical accuracy but also for accelerating business impact, investment attraction, and fostering international collaboration,” Frank Janssens, Vice-President of Sales and Managing Director of KROHNE Solutions, tells OGN energy magazine.
Green hydrogen, produced through the electrolysis of water powered by renewable energy, is inherently free from carbon emissions, making it indispensable to achieving global netzero targets.
This clean energy source is incredibly versatile, finding applications in transportation, industrial processes, and energy storage.
For the Middle East, aligning these applications with visionary frameworks like Saudi Vision 2030 and the UAE’s ambitious clean energy goals is essential in transforming the region into a global hub for sustainable development.
THE ROLE OF MEASUREMENT & STANDARDISATION
In the evolving landscape of green hydrogen, measurement and standardisation are more than just technical requirements; they are strategic enablers of growth, innovation, and global collaboration.
This focus will be a recurring theme at major industry gatherings, such as ADIPEC 2024, as well as in broader sustainability dialogues under the Alliance for Industry Decarbonisation and campaigns like the United Nations Global Compact’s #ForwardFaster initiative.
Safety is paramount when dealing with hydrogen due to its flammability and storage challenges.
Standardised measurement protocols are critical in assessing hydrogen's purity, pressure, and quality, significantly reducing the risks of leaks or accidents.
