GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

Of particular interest are advanced and next-generation materials with multi-functionality enabling better integration of the storage into the system or having a notable effect on the total system operation (for example, materials which selfheal, thus reducing maintenance requirements).

Proposals should include the materials development for tank hull (e.g. the bottom portion of the tank) focusing on storage solutions for the following uses:

• Fixed / static storage
• Mobility applications
  • Road transportation
  • Marine transportation
  • Aerospace transportation
  • Rail transportation

Hydrogen storage solutions for space applications and large underground storage as well as development of hydrogen carrier materials / solid state storage are out of the scope of this topic.

Building across the applications listed, digitalisation of circular economy (open access) system / platforms should be considered as well as contributions to new standards and regulations within scope of this topic.

In order to validate the project, one for each type of the following demonstrators tested in lab environment with the associated full-sized documentation should be included (the testing conditions should be in line with the objectives and KPIs of the Clean Hydrogen JU SRIA stated below:

• Above ground storage demonstrator
• Transport of hydrogen demonstrator
• Heavy-duty road transport demonstrator
• Aviation demonstrator

Proposals should explain how the results will be exploited, and how key advances from the activities will be communicated to the broader community to ensure rapid uptake of developments by end-users. To facilitate this communication, dissemination should have high priority and most deliverables should be public. A public annual progress report should include, as necessary, recommendations for future activities and possible organisation of workshops.
