HyQuality Europe \u2013 Hydrogen Quality assurance in Europe<\/h2>\n

The hydrogen mobility project aims to achieve excellence in hydrogen quality assurance in Europe in order to increase the reliability of hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) and the confidence of investors, operators and consumers. The HyQuality Europe project consortium, which comprises 12 partners, is made up of qualified researchers from science and industry in six European countries. The main objectives of the project can be summarised as follows: <\/p>\n

Collection of representative data on hydrogen quality in European high-speed vehicles (HRS) by taking 300 samples from light (700 bar, <60 g\/s flow rate) and heavy (350 bar, >60 g\/s flow rate) HRS in at least 100 European countries
\nDevelopment of a presence class that is representative of the EU market and promotion of the risk assessment (RA) approach, which is less costly than the prescriptive approach
\nEstablishment of an open-source database to compile the results of hydrogen sampling and analysis to enable HRS operators to pursue a RA approach to hydrogen quality assurance. Testing of a network of six hydrogen analysis laboratories to certify them at European level
\nDemonstration of the effectiveness of online analysis to guide future research efforts in this area
\nStandardisation of sampling and analysis methods for hydrogen quality in the EU HRS, including an interoperable sampling method for 350 and 700 bar.
\nSupport future research by defining the occurrence class of at least four new impurities beyond those listed in EN17124:2022 and ISO21087:2019.<\/p>\n

These objectives will contribute more broadly to the transition from fossil fuel vehicles to hydrogen-based mobility by developing and demonstrating sampling methods for heavy-duty vehicles and conducting online analysis monitoring. The project will create the first European HRS database on hydrogen quality, which will be updated regularly. Ultimately, the project results will make it possible to increase the availability of the HRS and reduce costs through a better understanding of the hydrogen quality RA approach and the events that cause quality changes. <\/p>\n

3D-4-H2 – Further development of 3D printing technology for H\u2082 applications<\/h4>\n

When hydrogen comes into play, the pressure on components increases: they have to be leak-proof, robust and reliable. 3D printing should also make the production of H\u2082-compatible components faster, cheaper and safer. In the 3D-4-H2 project, material, process and quality assurance are being integrated from the outset. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n
