OCAS partner in HyWay project on hydrogen embrittlement
The HyWay project aims to develop versatile, flexible and efficient multiscale material modelling and characterisation suites. These suites are specifically designed for assessing interactions between hydrogen and advanced metallic materials under service conditions of the hydrogen storage and transport infrastructure, and for demonstrating their capabilities on hydrogen storage and transport components. This is crucial for supporting the application of hydrogen technologies, which are necessitated for achieving the EU’s carbon neutrality goal. Deploying hydrogen technologies needs a tremendous effort to complete the infrastructure, requiring efficient material assessment suites, enabling industries to be more effective in developing and working with materials. Furthermore, since hydrogen is stored and transported in several forms, the material assessment suites must be flexible and capable of revealing hydrogen-material interactions in various conditions.
