Hydrogen
New H2TRUST consortium for hydrogen safety
The H2TRUST consortium was announced to examine the sustainability and safety of hydrogen as it enters wider use in European cities and industrial systems.
Hydrogen can be produced from a range of feedstocks and used in transport, industry and energy storage. Its environmental benefit depends on how it is produced, and its safe handling depends on consistent standards across borders.
The H2TRUST consortium was formed to bring evidence on sustainability and safety together, and to make that evidence clearer to decision makers and the public. The centre's work on hydrogen and fuel cells provides part of the technical context for this kind of initiative.
The announcement is recorded here as a press note. Current information about hydrogen policy and standards should be checked with the relevant public bodies.
