The H2MET joint industry project (JIP) is set to address the need for metrology standards across the hydrogen sector, while supporting the energy transition.
European energy consultant DNV, has announced the launch of its H2MET Joint Industry Project (JIP) with the aims of advancing metrology for 100% hydrogen flow applications.
The project will build on previous applications in the renewable gas sector, aiming to improve the accuracy of hydrogen flow measurements and ensuring trust for hydrogen trading.
Hydrogen operators, technology providers, and metering manufacturers have been invited to participate in the project, allowing extended validation on meterology solutions.
Øyvind Nesse, Senior Vice President at Equinor said: “The H2MET project is a crucial step in driving technological advancements for hydrogen trading.
“By ensuring that hydrogen flow measurement technologies meet the required standards of accuracy and reliability, we are contributing to a safer and more efficient energy transition.”
Located at DNV’s technology centre in Groningen, allowing access to “world-class facilities” while supporting the European hydrogen flow traceability chain.
According to DNV, the project will further contribute to the development of essential measurement standards, “fostering industry readiness for hydrogen’s expansion in energy systems worldwide”.
Prajeev Rasiah, Executive Vice President and Regional Director for Northern Europe, Energy Systems at DNV added: “As hydrogen markets mature, robust metrology will be essential to ensure transparency, accuracy, and trust in hydrogen trading.
“By bringing together industry leaders in the H2MET JIP, we are not only addressing technical challenges but also laying the foundation for a globally recognized hydrogen measurement framework—critical for scaling hydrogen as a cornerstone of the energy transition.
