First results of HyTunnel-CS about hydrogen driven vehicles in confined spaces will be shared during a workshop in May

 

 

From 4th to 5th May 2020, the Sapienza University of Rome will host a stakeholders’ workshop of the HyTunnel-CS project, an initiative led by the University of Ulster that focuses on pre-normative research for safety of hydrogen-driven vehicles and transport through tunnels and similar confined spaces.

This digital stakeholders’ workshop will be a public event that will bring together tunnel authorities, tunnels managers and designers, tunnel operators and safety officers, as well as hydrogen-powered vehicles and hydrogen delivery developers and manufacturers.

The aim of the workshop is to inform about the mid and long-tem results of the HyTunnel-CS project in order to find a common ground for the future exploitation of results. The workshop wants to facilitate open discussion on the impact, achievements and strategic direction of the HyTunnel-CS project.

The HyTunnel-CS project

HyTunnel-CS is a 36-month cooperation project led by the University of Ulster (United Kingdom) and with participation of the Karlsruher Institut fuer Technologie (Germany), the National Center of Scientific Research “Demokritos” (Greece), Universitetet i Sorost-Norge (Norway), Health and Safety Executive (United Kingdon), Danmarks Tekniske Univesitet (Denmark), the Fundación para el Desarrollo de las Nuevas Tecnologías del Hidrógeno en Aragón (Spain), the International Fire Academy (Switzerland), Università degli Studi di Roma La Sapienza (Italy), Stichting Nederlands Normalisatie – Institut (Netherlands), Service Public Fédéral Intérieur (France), Commissariat à l’Énergie Atomique et aux Énergies Alternatives (France) and the Pro-Science Gesellschaft für Wissenschaftliche und Technische Dienstleistungen MBCH (Germany).

With a budget of 2.5 million euros, this project whats to facilitate that hydrogen vehicles enter underground traffic systems at risk below of the same as for fossil fuel transport.

 

2nd Progress meeting

 

The 2nd progress meeting was hosted by French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) on the 4th-6th February 2020. The meeting venue was the CAES centre in Aussois, France.

The project meeting saw participation of 28 members of the consortium who reported the progress of the research activities across the eight Work Packages (WPs). 10 members of the SAB participated to the meeting providing insightful and strategical advice to the Technical Committee to maximise the impacts of the project outcomes.

During the project meeting, the consortium and SAB members were invited to visit the site that will be used by CEA for conducting experiments
