3rd HYDRA Webinar

HYDRA and beyond: European innovations in hydrogen monitoring

About

The 3rd webinar organized by HYDRA project aims to present and discuss the latest European innovations in the field of hydrogen monitoring and safety.

During the session, specific results from the HYDRA project will be illustrated, including technological solutions for hydrogen leakage monitoring and testing activities in confined environments conducted through the deployment of a wind tunnel. The panel will be enriched by prominent international academic contributions: Prof. Nelson Rafael Perozo from the University of Clausthal will present hydrogen tests and safety measures implemented within the DESSERT project, while Ceres Woolley Maisch from Utrecht University will explore the use of isotopic measurements to distinguish between green and blue hydrogen. The event will conclude with a dedicated Q&A session for the audience.
