Project description
Removing the barriers that impede commercialisation of hydrogen technologies
EU-funded MultHyFuel will contribute to effective deployment of hydrogen by developing a common strategy for implementing hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) in multi-fuel contexts. It will contribute to harmonisation of existing laws through practical, theoretical and experimental data and active and continuous engagement of stakeholders. Specifically, a state-of-the-art-review conducted with the support of the Network of National Experts will realise a preliminary diagnosis of the existing rules, and practical research and experimental laboratory work will address gaps in current understanding. Moreover, the project will generate best practice guidance on the basis of data and evidence derived from practical experimentation, engage key stakeholders (policy makers, public authorities, standardisation bodies) and ensure broader dissemination, communication, and exploitation of results.
Objective
According to market studies scouted within the HyLaw project, by 2050 hydrogen will represent 18% of the total worldwide energy consumption. This would decrease the amount of CO2 released in the atmosphere by 6 gigatons per year and create 30 million jobs within an industry worth 2.5 trillion dollars annually. Given the systemic role that hydrogen can fulfil in integrating all energy sectors (production, transmission, storage, distribution and consumption) and the central role hydrogen can play in decarbonising our society., The need for producing, storing and distributing hydrogen in high quantities and in new locations is growing rapidly. For more efficient and lower cost hydrogen distribution, hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) can be integrated on already existing refuelling stations. In this context, the safety recommendations for including hydrogen in a multi-fuel refuelling stations requires in depth investigation. The aim of MultHyFuel project is to contribute to the effective deployment of hydrogen as an alternative fuel by developing a common strategy for implementing HRS in multifunctional contexts, contributing to harmonize laws and standards based on practical, theoretical and experimental data as well as on the active and continuous engagement of key stakeholders. To this purpose, the project will: 1) contribute to the existing knowledge base underpinning safety rules on hydrogen dispensing by providing experimental data from engineering research and smart mitigation measures/barriers; 2) define zoning thresholds and safety requirements (e.g. separation distances, validation of safety barriers, permitting and technological requirements) based on experimental and modelling approaches, 3) contribute to the harmonization of rules applicable to HRS co-located alongside other fuels by implementing an extensive cross-country assessment of the regulation in place, performing a gap analysis, and building relevant and efficient network of stakeholders.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
