3rd Follow-up Project Meeting

The third follow-up meeting of the European Project “Atlantic Network for Renewable Generation and Supply of Hydrogen to promote high energy efficiencya – HYLANTIC”was held in Belfast on March 15th, 2019 and it was hosted by the project partners from Ulster University. During the meeting the partners from the different institutions of the Atlantic Area presented their progresses in the project and discuss about the future actions to be done before next meeting that will take place in Bristol in October 2019.

International School «Progress in Hydrogen Safety»

The International School “Progress in Hydrogen Safety” within HYLANTIC project “Atlantic Network for Renewable Generation and Supply of Hydrogen to promote High Energy Efficiency” was held in Belfast (UK) on March 11-15, 2019. The event was organised by Ulster University in close collaboration with other partners of the HYLANTIC project.

The school aimed at dissemination of beyond the-state-of-the art knowledge in hydrogen safety, innovative safety strategies and engineering solutions, and building stronger ties between industry, academia, regulators and standard development organisations. It was an excellent training opportunity to meet and communicate with world leading experts in hydrogen safety.

Auriga Energy

Auriga Energy has performed tests of the AurigaGen FL Prototype fuel cell unit powering a pallet truck. Here you can read the press release on the successful integration and testing.

International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2019

On February 11th and 12th, 2019, Dr. Gema Pérez, member of the University of Cantabria team of HYLANTIC Project, visited the secondary school “Las Llamas”, located in Santander (Cantabria, Spain), in the frame of the celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. During the visits, she talked about the role of a chemical engineering and explained to the secondary students the main objectives of HYLANTIC Project. She highlighted the importance of working with researchers from different countries and different knowledge areas.

 

Scientific Publication

V. Molkov, M. Dadashzadeh, D. Makarov, researchers from Ulster University have recently published the work “Physical model of on board hydrogen storage tank thermal behaviour during fuelling”, in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, as a result of their research in the frame of the European Project HYLANTIC.
