H2 Sensible
A project that aims to ensure safety in the upcoming hydrogen economy.
Supported by Industry partners and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, a consortium of INERC, Somni Solutions, Rijngas and EnTrance are aiming to determine the technical, economical, and social impact of fiber optic sensing in the context of environmental safety.
There are no problems, only solutions!

Over the years the Somni team has developed various Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based sensors tailored to the specific application and needs of our customers.
We developed sensors for pressure, temperature, strain, acceleration, tilt (angle) and acoustics (sound). Each sensor development is unique and often our customers ask us to push the fiber optic technology to its limits.
We either need to be best in class regarding sensitivity and dynamic range, or sometimes we are challenged by dimensional or environmental constraints unlike anything we have ever seen before.
Why choose fiber optic sensors?
