Projects in hydrogen

OCEAN-H2 tackles climate change head-on by pioneering large-scale green hydrogen production using offshore renewable energy sources. The project implements rigorous environmental impact assessments to minimize harm to marine ecosystems during operation and decommissioning of offshore facilities.

NAVHYS is a European collaborative project that develops a system for utilising liquid hydrogen (LH₂) as a fuel in service vessels at sea. The aim is to enable completely emission-free operations at sea, thereby contributing to climate-neutral maritime transport.

The uptake of hydrogen for heavy‑duty transport requires further standardisation to support Europe’s green energy future. This project will deliver the evidence needed for the standardisation of hydrogen fuel sampling for heavy‑duty applications.

The European research project SWEETHY will investigate the possibilities for developing electrolysis for the production of hydrogen and oxygen from seawater.

In ALPH, new coating and forming methods are devloped to enable the use of aluminum as bipolar plate material for High Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFCs). The lightweight metal combined with the higher temperatures enable lighter fuel cells with a simple cooling system …

The objective of HyTruck is to support public authorities in steering the development of a transnational network of green hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) suited for large trucks. This shall help to overcome the “chicken & egg problem” that SMEs and infrastructure providers are facing.

Hydrogen is becoming increasingly important for clean energy and industry. However, the use of hydrogen also presents safety challenges. This project developed a sensor for monitoring hydrogen leaks over long distances.

New ways of using hydrogen are expected to be an important part of the green  transition, which means a rapidly growing market for hydrogen installations. In collaboration with several actors, RISE is investigating whether a personal certification for hydrogen installers can contribute to…

This project investigates, from a broader system perspective, the socio-economic consequences of the various choices that can be made regarding the production and distribution of hydrogen and the related infrastructure. The project aims to answer this question by focusing on two value chains: elect…

RISE is now carrying out a project together with KTH, Uppsala University and RISE Fire Research AS to validate a new hydrogen tank for large-scale hydrogen bunkering adapted to maritime applications and the future needs of shipping.

In the FLYH2UME project, Umeå Municipality, Swedavia, RISE and Umeå Energi are jointly taking significant steps to prepare for the introduction of hydrogen at airports and to enable hydrogen flights by 2035.

Hydrogen as a fuel has been considered in previous studies as a practical and economic possibility for heavy forestry transports to achieve zero emissions. This project aims to analyze how the practical value chain should come together in Värmland for hydrogen-powered forestry transports to become …

TechForH2 is a new centre for excellence, built to create a Swedish ecosystem perfectly adapted to provide rapid advances in technology concerning transport solutions fuelled with hydrogen propulsion. The centre will contribute to knowledge building and education, and accelerate the introduction of…

After three years with the first Cleancon project, the consortium received renewed trust from the financier Interreg ÖKS. Cleancon II started in January 2023, with partly new partners for continued focus on emission-free operation of construction machinery and its infrastructure.

Hydrogen storage is one of the cornerstones for further development of a Swedish hydrogen infrastructure. Hydrogen can be used as a flexible energy storage medium for both long and short periods, on a large and small scale, including balancing renewable electricity production and for be used direct…

WEDISTRICT aims to demonstrate that District Heating and Cooling systems can be built on a combination of renewable energy sources and waste heat recovery solutions.

The project is part of a research center financed by SSF and entitled Production, Use and Storage of Hydrogen (PUSH). RISE is focusing on laboratory testing through electrochemical characterization methods, concact resistance measurements and materials characterization including subsequent analysis.

RISE has run a project, HyCoGen, that has analysed the possibility of profitable hydrogen production through sector coupling to district heating. Phase 2 of the project is now ongoing, with more partners. The aim is to show how hydrogen in an energy system can become profitable and provide climate …
