Project title: GUidelinEs for Safe and Sustainable-by-design systems based on reneWable Hydrogen
Acronym: GUESS-WHy
Type of project: EU projects
Role: Partner
Financing: Horizon Europe
Duration: 1.1.2025 – 31.12.2027
Laboratory: Laboratory for Heat and Power LTE
Project description:
GUESS-WHy project aims to improve the sustainability and safety of the fuel cell and hydrogen (FCH) systems by promoting the safe and sustainable by design (SSbD) methodology.
GUESS-WHy will develop and publish seven SSbD guidelines of seven different FCH systems, covering different technology readiness level (TRL) along the hydrogen value chain (production, storage and utilization). Selected systems are (5+2): PEM electrolyzer, SOFC system, Alkaline electrolyzer, metal hydrides storage, H2 gas turbine plus PEM-FC and SOE electrolyzer based on the existing sustainable-by-design guidelines. The SSbD guidelines provide the impact assessment of the system as well as the recommendations and products concepts for safe and sustainable impact improvements along the whole life cycle.
