Consortium

The consortium consists of three research partners and altogether 13 industrial partners (six SME companies, and seven large-scale companies) that cover the whole hydrogen value chain. TUKES, Emergency Services Academy Finland, and Fingrid are critical players in hydrogen safety and electrolysers’ grid connection, respectively. They will collaborate with this project and e.g. provide their expertise to relevant technical meetings. Also, hydrogen safety experiments will be conducted at Emergency Services Academy Finland’s test site. Finnish rescue officers and inspectors (educated at Emergency Services Academy Finland) together with TUKES are public authorities giving approval for hydrogen projects, and therefore it is very important to have effective bidirectional collaboration with them.

This research project is an important part of Danfoss Fossil Free Future, and Neste Novel sustainable & scalable solutions for transportation and chemicals ecosystems, which are so called Veturi programs partly financed by Business Finland. One of the goals of Finnish Veturi companies, such as Danfoss and Neste, is to build an ecosystem which enables development of leading technology development and innovations, and SafeH2 project builds such an ecosystem around safe hydrogen production and use.
