Hydrogen Value Chain: Fueling Green Mobility
The hydrogen economy is growing across production, storage, distribution, and mobility applications. At every stage, maintaining gas purity is essential to safeguard performance, safety, and international standards. Even trace levels of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, or hydrocarbons can affect fuel cell efficiency and infrastructure reliability.
This session will outline how gas chromatography (GC) solutions support accurate detection of impurities in hydrogen streams. It will cover workflows for monitoring during production, storage, and transport, as well as testing requirements for fuel-cell-grade hydrogen. Focus will be placed on methods that ensure hydrogen quality certification for mobility and industrial use, addressing both current specifications and emerging global frameworks.
By connecting purity requirements with analytical workflows, the session provides a clear view of how hydrogen can be delivered reliably and safely across the value chain.
Presenter: Dr. Jie Zhang (Application Development Scientist, Agilent Technologies, China)
