An International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) white paper underscores the critical role of measurement and standards in the successful integration of green hydrogen as a sustainable fuel source.

 

The white paper on green hydrogen has been developed in collaboration with key industry stakeholders, including Krohne. Irena urges governments, industry leaders, and stakeholders to prioritise the establishment of clear standards and measurement practices for green hydrogen. By doing so, we can accelerate its deployment and contribute significantly to global decarbonisation efforts.

 

Importance of measurement and standards

The white paper emphasises that robust measurement and standardisation are essential for ensuring the reliability and efficiency of green hydrogen production and utilisation. Accurate metrics are crucial for tracking progress, optimising processes and fostering trust among stakeholders.

 

Collaboration across industries 

Input from various member companies, including Krohne, highlights the collaborative effort needed to establish a comprehensive framework for green hydrogen. This cooperation is vital to address the unique challenges faced by different sectors in adopting this innovative fuel source.

 

Decarbonisation goals

Green hydrogen has emerged as a key player in the global energy transition, with potential applications across hard-to-abate sectors, something tackled in more detail by the group during New York Climate Week in September 2024. The white paper outlines strategies for overcoming barriers to widespread adoption, including technological advancements and supportive policies.

 

Future prospects

Irena's white paper serves as a roadmap for policymakers and industry leaders, detailing the necessary steps to scale up green hydrogen production and integrate it into existing energy systems. The document calls for immediate action to harness the full potential of this sustainable fuel.

 

Krohne has been a member of the Alliance for Industry Decarbonisation since 2023, joining a coalition of leading companies including Tata Steel, Siemens Energy committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the industrial sector. This membership aligns with Krohne's ongoing efforts to enhance sustainability and drive innovation in measurement technology, crucial for the effective implementation of green hydrogen solutions.

 

Collaborative strategies

The Alliance, facilitated by Irena, focuses on collaborative strategies to decarbonise industries, emphasising the importance of measurement and standards in achieving these goals. Krohne's expertise in providing accurate measurement technology solutions positions it as a vital contributor to the development of reliable metrics necessary for tracking progress and optimising green hydrogen production and usage.

 

By collaborating with other industry leaders, Krohne aims to leverage its research and development capabilities to advance sustainable practices and support the transition towards net-zero emissions. The company's involvement in this initiative underscores its commitment to fostering a cleaner energy future through innovative technologies and strategic partnerships.--TradeArabia News Service
