SUSHy Project in Brief
What?
SUSHy Project—short for SUStainability and cost-reduction of Hydrogen stations through risk-based, multidisciplinary approaches—is a European-Japanese research project for the advancement of sustainable hydrogen technologies. SUSHy Project is funded through the European Interest Group (EIG) CONCERT-Japan platform, and it was launched in the spring of 2022.
Why?
The widespread adoption and deployment of emergent hydrogen technologies still face important challenges. Not only because of the complex technical procedures involved in the hydrogen production and distribution process, but also due to the numerous socioeconomic uncertainties that determine the technologies’ safe and sustainable implementation. Given the limited data availability and the multidimensional nature of such impediments, international and cross-disciplinary collaboration is needed to holistically address and overcome them.
How?
This 3-year research project aims to enhance the efficiency, reliability and cost-effectiveness of hydrogen technologies by developing an interdisciplinary, integrated and risk-based approach to improve safety, promote public acceptance and ensure economic viability concerning the operation of hydrogen production and fuelling stations. Emphasis is placed on system modelling and analysis of hybrid renewable-energy-powered hydrogen production and fuelling facilities, considering aspects of accident risk reduction, occupational safety and process management and optimisation through the lens of sustainability.
