Technische Universität Dresden is a University of Excellence in materials science and research in Germany, and it is actively participating in the LH2CRAFT project with three departments. Specifically, involving the European Project Center (EPC), who is a key player for administration and project management, and two institutions from the Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering and the “Friedrich List” Faculty of Transportation and Traffic Sciences. Namely, the Institute of Light-weight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK), and the Institute of Power Engineering with the Schaufler Chair of Refrigeration, Cryogenics and Compressor Technology (K3T). ILK will focus on the insulation materials and multi-material design, while the Schaufler Chair (K3T) on cryogenics and production of LHe and LH2.
LH2CRAFT aspires to develop a next generation sustainable, commercially attractive, and safe technology for long-term storage and long-distance transportation of LH2 on ships. Since Technische Universität Dresden has always been promoting resource efficiency with a strong commitment to energy saving, emissions reductions and optimization of fuel consumption, the goals of project LH2CRAFT are aligned towards TUD’s efforts and long-term goals.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation program under grant agreement no. 101111972. UK participation in LH2CRAFT Project is funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) under the UK government’s Horizon Europe guarantee [grant-numbers 10082044 and 10070575].
