Honeywell recently announced the European launch of its 100% hydrogen-capable diaphragm gas meter. The Honeywell EI5 smart gas meter, which has been successfully piloted in the Netherlands, is part of a broader initiative to align with the region’s goals outlined in the European Green Deal.

The new gas meter is capable of measuring both hydrogen and natural gas, providing adaptability across the European continent. Once installed, these meters eliminate the need for future replacements, even as networks transition to hydrogen, thereby reducing long-term costs and enhancing operational sustainability. The EI5’s design and functionality have been tested and certified by Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), ensuring their safety, accuracy, and preparedness for the evolving energy landscape.

“Honeywell’s hydrogen-capable meters are key to facilitating a seamless transition to hydrogen energy across European utility networks,” said Kinnera Angadi, Chief Technology Officer of Smart Energy and Thermal Solutions at Honeywell. “We’re enhancing operational efficiency with meters that are ready for the future, helping our customers stay ahead in a market that’s swiftly transitioning toward greener energy solutions.”

Ashish Gaikwad, Managing Director, Honeywell Automation India Limited and Vice President - General Manager, Honeywell Process Solutions, added “Honeywell's launch of the EI5 smart gas meter in Europe, a 100% hydrogen-capable diaphragm meter, underscores our global dedication to sustainable energy solutions.

“Successfully piloted in the Netherlands, this innovation aligns with the European Green Deal. Additionally, as India advances towards a cleaner energy landscape, the adaptability of these meters to measure hydrogen and natural gas is particularly relevant to operational efficiency and cost reduction.

“Our hydrogen-capable meters aren't just technology; they're key to a seamless transition. As the world embraces hydrogen, Honeywell is devoted to supporting India's clean energy vision. The EI5 smart gas meter stands testament to Honeywell's role in contributing to the ambitious global goals for a cleaner, greener future.”
