Detection of regional industrial H2 emissions using an active Aircore and a high-precision GC-PDHID system
Year: 2024
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: As result of the global energy transition, it is expected that H2 emissions are on the rise due to increasing production, transport and usage. Leakage rates might be up to 10% of the total hydrogen production. This will lead to an increase of the global atmospheric hydrogen mole fraction, resulting in the lengthening of the lifetime of in particular methane, enhanced tropospheric ozone production, and increased stratospheric water vapor levels. Because of these effects, H2 is called an indirect greenhouse gas. We present first results of the use of a high-precision Agilent 8890 GC-system equipped with a Pulsed Discharge Helium Ionization Detector (PDHID) combined with an ‘active’ Aircore and sampling flasks as a tool to detect and quantify industrial H2 emissions. Our GC-PDHID measures H2 with a precision
