As hydrogen plays an increasing role in global decarbonization, standardized and precise flow measurement is essential to ensure transaction integrity in the emerging hydrogen economy. Through this initiative, DNV’s Technology Centre in Groningen, Netherlands, will provide an advanced testing environment for hydrogen operators and technology providers to validate metrology solutions. The project will contribute to the development of essential measurement standards, fostering industry readiness for hydrogen’s expansion in energy systems worldwide.
The H2MET JIP provides a platform for industry collaboration, enabling participants to share knowledge and establish operational limits for hydrogen flow metering. Central to the project is a highly accurate, traceable reference system that will assess the performance of various hydrogen metering technologies, supporting the European hydrogen flow traceability chain and future hydrogen trading.
H2MET will also evaluate different metering technologies, drawing on DNV’s 50 years of expertise in natural gas flow measurement and its world-class testing facilities. As one of the few organizations globally equipped for advanced hydrogen flow research, DNV offers advanced testing and validation services to support industry adoption.
As the energy transition accelerates, H2MET provides crucial support for hydrogen operators and technology providers, helping them develop reliable metering solutions. It also marks a key milestone in DNV’s commitment to global decarbonization.
