DelHyVEHR

Project Description

DELHYVEHR offers to fill the gap of LH2 distribution technologies by driving the maturation to the demonstration of each main systems constituting the large-scale refuelling station with a specific focus on pumping, metering, loading and boil-off gas (BOG) management systems. The project aims also to engage industry, European authorities, citizens, and other relevant stakeholders to promote the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier and to define suitable roadmaps to prepare the deployment of low-carbon LH2 solutions.  

DELHYVEHR will contribute to the EU deployment of LH2 distribution for the coming new generation of zero emission high duty vehicles mobility in the maritime, aviation and railroad sectors by designing, developing, assembling and operating the first large-scale LH2 refuelling station (LS-LHRS) demonstrating a delivery flowrate higher than 5 tons per hour at TRL 6.
