3D Hydrogen Plume Mapping with Quantum Raman Spectrometer

Xcalibur Smart Mapping’s R&D team, led by Andrew Lockwood, has successfully mapped a hydrogen plume in 3D using our Quantum Raman Spectrometer. While conducted in a laboratory environment, this represents a significant step forward in remote hydrogen detection and mapping.

Traditional methods for measuring hydrogen

Traditional methods for measuring hydrogen, such as electrochemical sensors, require direct gas sampling. In contrast, our Raman Spectrometer prototype detects hydrogen remotely, offering a more efficient approach. This capability is especially relevant for field applications, where direct sampling is often impractical.

Importance of Hydrogen Dispersion Understanding

Hydrogen dispersion in the atmosphere is not yet fully characterised. Our team has developed theoretical models to better understand how hydrogen disperses under different conditions. This is a key step in interpreting airborne data and accurately pinpointing hydrogen sources during real-world surveys.
