Hydrogen and Fuel Cells
Hydrogen and Fuel Cells
Hydrogen can be produced by various industrial processes including refining of natural gas and electrolysis of water. Hydrogen is of interest as a clean energy source that emits only water as a byproduct when used. As a result, hydrogen is being used as a reactant in fuel cells to generate electricity, as a combustion fuel to generate thermal energy, or as a storage medium for intermittent sources of energy, such as wind and solar power.
Shimadzu can provide a comprehensive suite of instruments used for hydrogen quality control, analysis of catalysts and water for electrolysis, and evaluation of fuel cells and their components.
