The University of Aberdeen has launched the MHYSTIC project to bolster the sustainable distribution network of hydrogen in Scotland and the UK. This initiative, selected by the UK-HyRES Flexible Fund, focuses on advancing hydrogen technologies and alternative liquid fuels. Led by a team of researchers with diverse expertise, the project aims to utilize existing energy assets to innovate new methods for hydrogen transportation and storage. Additionally, collaborations with international partners and industry stakeholders are crucial for the success of the project. With a funding of nearly £3 million, the MHYSTIC project is expected to have significant research, commercial, and societal impacts by transferring its innovations to relevant actors. The project will address critical challenges related to hydrogen storage and transportation, aiming to implement hydrogen economies in the region. Professor John Underhill highlighted the importance of developing new materials to ensure safe and secure hydrogen storage and transportation. Funded by UK Research and Innovation, the project is set to run for 2.5 years, contributing to the broader goal of promoting low carbon fuels in the UK.
