Technology Description:

Northeastern University will develop a platform that aims to revolutionize the detection and localization of hydrogen emissions by integrating advanced miniaturized and near-zero power hydrogen sensing technology with sophisticated airflow modeling. The sensing nodes generate a detailed geographic heatmap of hydrogen concentrations and flow within the monitored area. The nodes can last for years on a small battery because they employ a zero-power electromechanical switch that activates the sensing module only when detecting elevated hydrogen levels. Cost-effective and scalable, this platform promises to significantly enhance hydrogen emissions monitoring.
