 Sorcerer CorporationAustin TindleFounder and CEO Small Business Other Energy Technologies Sorcerer develops persistent, variable altitude atmospheric sensing vehicles. Our primary platform is a pico superpressure aerostat (2 meter diameter balloon envelope, <250g payload), well suited for mass sensing over large geographic areas. We're currently focused on climate/weather truth data collection, and are engaged with both NOAA and the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources of El Salvador to provide weather sounding observations (temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, etc). We currently develop both the vehicle and the sensing payload for these partners, and could readily fit our existing platform for hydrogen sensing with a variety of sensor options.

 LI-COR, Inc.Mark JohnsonChief Technology Officer Large Business Other Energy Technologies LI-COR Inc. manufactures a range of gas analyzers for detecting trace gases in air. Our measurement capabilities include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and isotopologues of carbon dioxide. Our optical spectroscopy technologies include NonDispersive InfraRed (NDIR), Wavelength Modulation Spectroscopy (WMS), and Optical Feedback Cavity Enhanced Spectroscopy (OF-CEAS).

LI-COR's optical spectroscopy techniques have exciting potential applications for accurately measuring trace quantities of molecular hydrogen (H2) in air. Hydrogen can be detected directly, without the complexity of a catalytic conversion. Optical spectroscopy measurements are known for their high specificity compared to competing methods; potentially interferent analytes can often be spectrally identified and corrected. We believe a hydrogen analyzer could be developed to measure molecular hydrogen with single-digit Parts Per Million (PPMv) precision on a 1-second timescale.

LI-COR methane analyzers developed under ARPA-E MONITOR, and based on OF-CEAS, are highly portable (10.5 kg), low power (22 Watts), capable of battery operation (8 hours with hot-swap ability) and have T90 response times of less than 3 seconds. These products have proven environmentally robust over 6 years of commercial sales and deployments. Products derived from OF-CEAS can be found here: https://www.licor.com/env/products/trace-gas/

We seek a prime partner equipped to develop a leak detection system responsive to the H2SENSE FOA and based around a new LI-COR hydrogen analyzer. LI-COR would focus on development of the proposed hydrogen analyzer during the joint project.

 University of South FloridaAndreas MullerAssociate Professor of Physics Academic Other Energy Technologies PI leads quantum optics laboratory at the University of South Florida Physics Department specializing in the development of optical cavity enhancement techniques. Our work on spontaneous Raman enhancement has resulted in a hydrogen detection capability below 100 parts-per-billion in measurement times of several minutes. Distinctive features of our approach include the utilization of off-the-shelf components operating at room temperature, robustness to environmental fluctuations, and maximal power consumption of tens of watts. Exceptional selectivity for hydrogen is inherent in the vibrational fingerprinting which also enables co-detection of dozens of other analytes. We are interested in establishing long term resilience to harsh outdoor conditions and enabling maturation of the Raman technique comparable to that which brought optical absorption techniques to commercial scale.

 University of California, BerkeleyJunqiao WuProfessor Academic Power Generation: Renewable PI Wu leads a group at UC Berkeley to explore physics and applications of functional materials and semiconductors. Specifically related to this Topic, we are interested in response of materials conductivity as a function of hydrogen doping. It is known that hydrogen can quickly diffuse, and passivate dopants or otherwise act as a dopant in electronic materials, leading to change of electrical conductivity of the host material. These effects have been used to process and control the materials properties, but less for hydrogen sensing. We aim at exploiting these effects for passive hydrogen sensing: design of materials, optimize device structures, integrate for sensing system, and probing the performance limits. We are experienced with materials processing and device fabrication.

 NevadaNanoTom HornerDirector Sales and Business Development Small Business Other Energy Technologies NevadaNano provides safety and climate solutions for many of the world’s largest corporations, with innovative multi-gas sensing products and continuous IoT monitoring systems based on our proprietary MPS™ sensor platform.
EmissionTrack™ is an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) system that enables companies to cost-effectively meet their emission reduction goals by accurately locating and quantifying Hydrogen gas emissions. EmissionTrack™ utilizes an array of wireless gas-sensing endpoints that operate 24/7/365. The endpoints are certified intrinsically safe, meaning they can be installed near potential leak sources at any oil and gas facility. This unique Close-Proximity Continuous Monitoring™ (CPCM™) solution puts sensors at locations that offer key advantages in locating sources and quantifying the size of the emissions.

EmissionTrack consists of an array of compact, battery-powered sensor modules called “endpoints” that measure the Hydrogen gas concentrations across the site and an onsite anemometer that measures wind speed and direction. The patented Molecular Property Spectrometer™(MPS™) Sensor is the culmination of decades of research and development and is the revolutionary heart of every endpoint. The MPS™ Emissions Sensor, specifically, is exclusive to EmissionTrack™ and has been optimized for open-air detection of gas plumes. These plumes may be natural gas, Hydrogen, or hydrogen, or heavier hydrocarbons like ethane and propane, or combinations thereof. The gas and wind data are communicated via LoRa radio protocols to an on-site gateway that transmits the data to the cloud for analysis by EmissionTrack’s software as a service (SaaS) application. These applications process site data to calculate leak location(s) and leak rate(s) via NevadaNano’s proprietary Leak Source Isolation™ (LSI™) software. The results are displayed via the EmissionTrack user interface (UI) which can be accessed securely from any web browser.

The endpoints and anemometer use the industry-standard low-power LoRa (Long Range) radio protocol for communication in the field. Once the gateway transmits the wind and gas data to the cloud, a proprietary software algorithm called Leak Source Isolation™ determines the presence, location, and

 Sensors IncDavid BookerDr Small Business Other Energy Technologies The SEMTECH HI-FLOW 2 represents Sensors’ first solution in fugitive emissions quantification technology. The HI-FLOW 2 is a robust, portable, battery powered, high volume sampler for the accurate quantification of fugitive methane emissions and is compliant with both the rigorous requirements outlined by the ACR at Winrock International (formerly American Carbon Registry) as well as the recently published 40 CFR Part 60 OOOOb NSPS rule.

Either adding hydrogen to the existing products or designing a new H2 specific quantification would be desirable. Partnering with a H2 sensor developer would be advantageous.

Sensors, Inc. was founded in 1969 in the backyard of the University of Michigan and has gone on to become an innovative leader in the supply of gas analysis instrumentation. Proudly powered by our employee-owners, Sensors has built a strong reputation for solid engineering, manufacturing, testing, and customer support. For over 50 years, Sensors has developed a deep product portfolio to measure criteria pollutants, under the auspices of many different regulatory drivers. Our focus on the automotive transportation sector and specifically emissions from internal combustion engines (ICE) has positioned us well to now expand that portfolio into environmental markets like fugitive emissions.
