NHyRA KICK-OFF MEETING

February 19 2024, marked the kick-off of the “NHyRA: pre-Normative Research on Hydrogen Releases Assessment” Project.

15 partners from 6 European countries met in Milan, Italy to present the structure and the objectives of the project.

Assessing the quantity of Hydrogen (H2) releases from the value chain is challenging since insufficient/no standardized data can be found in the literature. In addition, significant knowledge gaps exist about the amount of anthropogenic H2 (in the atmosphere) from the H2 value chain. As such, the research community needs to address this by improving the capability to quantify small and large releases, delivering validated methodologies and techniques for measuring or calculating them.

The NHyRA project aims to address these urgent needs. The project will deliver a “H2 releases” inventory to serve as a reference for the scientific and industrial community. New or adequately adapted experimental, theoretical, and simulation methodologies will be validated to perform laboratory or in-field measurements to achieve the ambitious goal. Experimental tests will also be performed on the most critical elements of the H2 value chains by the partners of the Consortium.

The project has received funding from the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and its members Hydrogen Europe and Hydrogen Europe Research.

Project Partners: SNAM, UNIBO, ENEA, Baker Hughes, ENGIE, ENAGAS, INIG, DLR, GERG, FBK, LINDE, EQUINOR, NPL, UCI, University of Surrey.
