READ Hydrogen Tech Redefines Geoscience’s Role in Energy Future SHARE Leading the Way: Hydrogen Detection Instrument Driving Geoscience’s Energy Transition and Natural Capital Mapping Agenda The Hydrogen Mapping Airborne Spectrometer H-MAS will mean a beforeand after in the approach and understanding of hydrogen as an energy source. Xcalibur Multiphysics, a leading innovator in advanced technology solutions, is pleased to announce a 12-month research agreement in collaboration with Curtin University of Technology and supported by the Resources Technology and Critical Minerals Trailblazer, to develop an instrument for the long-range detection of hydrogen. This partnership represents a significant step forward in the quest to harness clean energy sources and combat climate change. H-MAS, short for Hydrogen Mapping Airborne Spectrometer, is poised to be a ground breaking tool that will allow for the reliable, rapid, and remote detection of low concentrations of atmospheric hydrogen. Hydrogen is increasingly recognized as a clean and abundant energy source, andnaturally occurring hydrogen is seen as a valuable adjunct to large scale generation. The detection and mapping of these natural resources is the primary motivation forthis project. The transition to hydrogen will not be without hazards, and the technology developed will also be valuable for the remote detection of hydrogenleaks from large scale storage and production facilities or pipelines. The development team comprises Professor Charlie Ironside, who has over 30 years of experience in semiconductor optoelectronics research, Emeritus Professor MervynLynch, with 60 years of experience in remote sensing research, and Dr Jacob Martin,whose expertise in ultrafast laser spectroscopy will be extremely valuable. Complementing this group is Andrew Lockwood, from Xcalibur Multiphysics, who brings 30 years of applied geophysics research to the team. Xcalibur Multiphysics aims to play a pivotal role in the pursuit of a just energy transition, and its commitment to advancing hydrogen detection technology aligns with the urgent global transition toward sustainable and secure energy sources. In words of Andres Blanco, CEO of Xcalibur Multiphysics: we firmly believe that responsible mapping of natural resources is the corner stone of a more sustainable global economy. With our commitment to H-MAS, we are entering an era where our perception of hydrogen within the current energy landscape will under go a profound transformation, bringing us closer to realizing our vision of a greener, more sustainable future. < SEE PREVIOUS NEW SEE NEXT NEW > < > Related news I+D Condor Airborne Laplacian Gravity Xcalibur Multiphysics & Lockheed Martin to create next generation airborne gravity gradiometer SEE MORE > I+D Xcalibur Multiphysics updates MagCUBE IFR WebMap via ArcGIS Online SEE MORE > Last news Pre-UNGA Week: Xcalibur Smart Mapping at the First COP30 Event in Madrid SEE MORE > Last news A New Era of AI-Driven airborne geophysics: Xcalibur supports presidential initiative to modernise subsurface mapping SEE MORE > We are in the media The Spanish company calls for stable support to compete in an uncertain environment SEE MORE > Blog – Analysis and expert opinion Conference on financing for development SEE MORE > Blog – Analysis and expert opinion The demand for critical minerals is expected to quadruple by 2040 SEE MORE > Announcements Spanish participation in a key European project on critical raw materials SEE MORE > Announcements Copper at the crossroads: securing the mineral backbone of the global energy transition SEE MORE > Contact us.
