Space North East England members AmbaSat Ltd and Teesside University have been awarded a €250,000 contract by the European Space Agency (ESA).
The joint project will see the Net Zero Industry Innovation Centre (NZIIC) carry out a 12-month feasibility study into a satellite-enabled hydrogen monitoring service for industrial applications.
The study will examine how ground-based sensing, resilient communications and cloud-based reporting could be combined into a practical service to support the safe expansion of green hydrogen infrastructure.
As hydrogen production, storage and distribution projects move from concept to deployment, operators face growing pressure to demonstrate safe operation, reliable monitoring and clear reporting. These challenges are particularly relevant at larger sites, remote locations and multi-site operations, where conventional fixed-point approaches may not always provide the full operational picture.
