Pioneering Hydrogen Project to Boost Sustainable Distribution Network in Scotland
Key Ideas
  • The MHYSTIC project at the University of Aberdeen aims to establish a sustainable hydrogen distribution network in Scotland and the UK.
  • Led by a team with expertise in various engineering fields and economic analysis, the project received nearly £3 million in funding from the UK-HyRES Flexible Fund.
  • International collaborators and industry partners will also contribute to the project, focusing on developing new materials for safe hydrogen transportation and storage.
  • The research will address the challenges of hydrogen leakage and embrittlement of steel, with the goal of advancing hydrogen economies in the region.
The MHYSTIC project, led by researchers at the University of Aberdeen, is part of the UK-HyRES Flexible Fund initiative to advance hydrogen technologies. With funding of nearly £3 million, the project aims to enhance the hydrogen distribution network in Scotland and the UK. Collaborating with international partners and industry stakeholders, the project focuses on developing new materials and methods for safe hydrogen transportation and storage. The research team, consisting of experts in engineering and economic analysis, plans to transfer its innovations to boost hydrogen economies. By addressing challenges like hydrogen leakage and steel embrittlement, the project strives to drive impactful scientific innovation in the energy sector. With a duration of 2.5 years, the MHYSTIC project is poised to make significant strides in establishing a sustainable hydrogen infrastructure for a greener future.
