At the 14th EASN International Conference, held in Thessaloniki from October 8th to 11th 2024, Professor Angelos Filippatos from the University of Patras, Greece, organized and led a cross-sectoral session focused on liquid hydrogen (LH2) technologies. The session highlighted ongoing research and advancements in LH2 use, aiming to accelerate R&D in hydrogen applications by fostering cross-sectoral discussions and establishing synergies with stakeholders and industry. Participants engaged in meaningful exchanges, establishing networks to drive collaboration, inspire new ideas, and explore innovative applications for hydrogen technology.
This session was integrated in the work done for the establishment of a Hydrogen Knowledge Hub as a task of the LH2CRAFT project. In this context, the project coordinator, Hydrus represented by Astrinos Papadakis and Konstantinos Sykaras, provided a comprehensive overview of LH2CRAFT’s objectives and progress at a presentation with the title : “Current challenges and trends in new hydrogen-based technologies in the maritime sector”. Additionally, Thomas Kalampoukas from the University of Patras presented a part of the work that is done in the Task 2.3, titled “Conceptual design of a multi-material membrane tank panel for LH2 storage integrating sustainability criteria for the maritime sector,” showcasing the work done in the project on sustainable hydrogen storage solutions for maritime applications.
