The energy transition, or energy system transformation, is the shift from using fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal to sustainable energy sources like solar and wind energy. This transition is necessary to combat climate change and ensure a sustainable future. It requires significant changes in technology, infrastructure, policy and behavior to make energy consumption more efficient and environmentally friendly.
In the application of hydrogen excess hydrogen inevitably occurs. To prevent its release, it is essential to equip vehicles and hydrogen networks with a boil-off management system (BMS) capable of efficiently venting excess gas. Kiwa's hydrogen expert Hans de Laat wrote an article on this topic.
