This $1,700,000 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E, CFDA 81.135) supports the development of an integrated photonic sensing system for the detection, localization, and long-term monitoring of hydrogen leaks. The award to Princeton University will fund research and development on a drone-based sensor for rapid leak quantification and localization, as well as a network of inexpensive, fiber optic-based sensors for continuous monitoring. Both sensor approaches leverage novel photonic advances to achieve high selectivity and sensitivity. The project, titled "HydroNet: Integrated Photonic System for Hydrogen Leak Localization, Quantification and Monitoring," aims to create transformative solutions for monitoring hydrogen infrastructure and reducing safety risks. The project period runs from November 2024 to November 2027.
