Hydrogen sensor platform – enables improved safety and efficiency
Our gas sensor platform for hydrogen offers the capability to operate in challenging environments and with superior performance. The sensor can be used for reliable hydrogen leak detection as well as a tool for accurate system diagnostics and real-time monitoring of processes involving hydrogen.
Reliable hydrogen monitoring
The technology consists of a Pd-based sensing element with optical read-out, which has been demonstrated to provide fast response with high selectivity for hydrogen. The sensing element does not require any particular background for operation, which means it can be used in air, inert atmosphere and even vacuum.

Vinnova project with Saab
The purpose of the project is to demonstrate the possibility for leak detection in hydrogen-powered aircraft. Within the project, Insplorion’s hydrogen sensors and readout with fiber optics will be adapted to be combined with Saab’s existing readout unit. The budget for the project is 3.7 MSEK where Insplorion receives a total grant of 1.7 MSEK. The project is expected to start autumn 2024 and last for about 18 months.

Insplorion leak sensor
detection even in challenging environments
Insplorion’s hydrogen leak detector can be used even in challenging environments where there is a need for fast and selective hydrogen detection. Its optical read-out makes it inherently safe for applications with spark-free requirements.
Insplorion process sensor
inline monitoring of hydrogen concentration levels
The Insplorion Process sensor can be installed directly inline enabling real-time and continuous monitoring of hydrogen concentration levels in different processes. By applying a protective surface film the NPS sensor can be stabilized by preventing the sensitive nanostructure from having direct contact with harsh environments.
Nano Plasmonic Sensing
Our sensors for hydrogen are built on a Pd alloy platform and functionalised to enable robust and accurate monitoring. The principle of operation is NanoPlasmonic Sensing (NPS), relying on an optical read-out of metal nanostructures.
