Environment News Service, February, 2006

GOLDEN, Colorado (ENS) — --> Seen as an emissions-free fuel for fuel cells of the future, hydrogen gas is very reactive. It only takes about five percent hydrogen in air and a small spark to ignite. Early detection of hydrogen leaks is essential to safely handling the gas.

To help address this limitation to hydrogen development, a new hydrogen detection technology has been developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for safety sensors that can be used in nuclear waste packages, automobiles, industrial plants and anywhere else hydrogen may be present.

On Wednesday, NREL selected a licensee to manufacture the sensors. Nuclear Filter Technology (NucFil) has been awarded licenses to manufacture the Fiber Optic Hydrogen Sensors. The licenses, together...
