Description

Germany and Italy are strengthening their collaboration on green hydrogen research through the joint initiative "Green Hydrogen Research: A Collaboration to Empower Tomorrow's Energy". This effort is thankfully enabled by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF, URL: www.bmbf.de) of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI; URL: www.esteri.it), and the Ministry of University and Research (MUR; URL: www.mur.gov.it) of the Italian Republic.
Fit4H2 marks a significant step towards advancing sustainable energy solutions and addresses the constructive and technological development and implementation of processes for coating fittings and pipe connections (e.g. double or single screw connections) as well as conical and threaded fittings with defect free hydrogen barrier coatings based on hexagonal boron nitride ceramics and metal oxides (e.g. Al2O3) with the lowest hydrogen permeabilities for a wide range of working pressures (up to 700 bar) and temperatures (up to 200 °C). Furthermore, the development of sensors based on novel nanomaterials for long-term monitoring of hydrogen permeability with highest sensitivity (ppt to ppb) and selectivity is aimed. The use of artificial intelligence will significantly expand the detection capacities in order to detect, differentiate and quantify hydrogen and other gases with one device.
