New skilled people will be educated to this field, and they will have opportunities to work with process developers and end users. Altogether, SafeH2 is an important step towards Finnish hydrogen ecosystem and will enable companies to start or accelerate their hydrogen related business, i.e. to produce and utilize green hydrogen, manufacture electrolyser systems, materials, and components, provide services for other companies, and utilize electrolysers in their applications safely and efficiently. The export potential for Finland in electrolyser technology is significant and estimated to be more than 3 B€ annually in 2030.
Safety is a big concern in hydrogen business. One of the main objectives of SafeH2 is to increase understanding on the phenomena and mitigation strategies for various hydrogen leak scenarios with simulations and experiments. The handbook on hydrogen safety will also be generated in the project to accelerate and ease hydrogen related projects. Close collaboration with companies will ensure handbook’s validity of all the essential themes. The handbook also facilitates the transition of future experts into the
