Enhancing safety of liquid and vaporised hydrogen transfer technologies in public areas for mobile applications
ElvHys
Abstract
ELVHYS is a pre-normative research project coordinated by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU, and co-funded by the European Commission, the Clean Hydrogen JU under the Horizon Europe programme, and UKRI. ELVHYS aims to provide indications on inherently safer and efficient cryogenic hydrogen technologies and operations in mobile applications by providing innovative safety strategies including selection of effective safety barriers and hazard zoning strategies, which are the results of a detailed risk analysis. This will be carried out by applying an inter-disciplinary approach and conducting experimental, theoretical, and numerical studies both on the cryogenic hydrogen transferring operations and on the phenomena that may arise from the loss of containment of a piece of equipment containing hydrogen. In the project LISES investigates key methodological aspects on the qualitative and quantitative risk analysis of the hydrogen transfer operations and develops models for the consequence assessment of jet release scenarios.
