Measuring Hydrogen Emissions in Transportation Applications

AUGUST 12TH, 2026

As hydrogen emerges as an important low-carbon alternative fuel, accurately measuring hydrogen emissions is increasingly critical. However, many commercially available hydrogen sensors limit measurement accuracy. Join Dr. Derek Johnson, Professor in the Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering Department at West Virginia University, as he shares results from a collaborative research project with Transport Energy Strategies. The project focused on advancing hydrogen emissions measurements for the transportation sector. Building on established methane measurement methodologies, the team developed systems for measuring hydrogen at fueling stations leaks and from fuel cell vehicles emissions. The LI-COR LI-7835 Hydrogen/Methane analyzer was evaluated in these systems alongside electrochemical and thermal conductivity sensors. Whether you're conducting hydrogen emissions research, developing leak detection methodologies, or supporting decarbonization initiatives, this webinar will provide practical insights into accurately quantifying hydrogen emissions.

Topics include:

• Adapting methane measurement techniques for in-situ hydrogen emissions monitoring
• Comparing the performance of spectroscopic, electrochemical, and thermal conductivity sensors
• Key findings from the real-world evaluation of the LI-7835 hydrogen/methane analyzer
• Lessons learned and considerations for future hydrogen emissions research
