Project Details
Description
Green hydrogen is key to a sustainable energy future, but its storage and transport present challenges due to material reactivity. The HYPOLFAIL project focuses on polymers as promising materials in the hydrogen supply chain. It investigates their behavior under extreme conditions, develops new sealing and storage solutions, and applies AI-driven simulations to model hydrogen-material interactions. The goal is to enable safer, more efficient, and sustainable hydrogen systems.
