In June, the European Union announced a new research initiative aimed at developing a LH2 containment system known as the LH2 Craft project. This project seeks to create a sustainable, commercially viable, and safe technology for the long-distance transportation and storage of liquid hydrogen by designing innovative storage solutions capable of holding cargo at -253°C, reaching a massive scale of up to 200,000 m3. A key milestone of the project involves constructing a 180-m3 prototype to validate the new design in a practical setting. With a substantial budget of €6.5 million, including €1.2 million from private investment, the overarching objective is to pioneer technologies that can support the needs of commercial vessels and emerging hydrogen applications. The emphasis lies on developing modular solutions that enhance safety and are easily replicable on a large scale. The research consortium overseeing this ambitious project is led by Hydrus Engineering and TUD, with key participation from classification society ABS and a diverse group of 14 partners hailing from nine different countries. The consortium includes prominent entities such as classification societies like RINA, Bureau Veritas, and ABS, alongside technical universities such as Technische Universitat Dresden, National Technical University of Athens, and industry partners like HD KSOE, Gabadi, and Actemium. Additionally, research organizations like The Welding Institute and network associations such as WEGEMT and the European Aeronautics Science Network are also part of this collaborative effort to advance liquid hydrogen technology in a global context.
