Safe Hydrogen Fuel Handling and Use for Efficient Implementation – SH2IFT

The SH2IFT project combines social and technical scientific methods to address knowledge gaps regarding safe handling and use of gaseous and liquid hydrogen. Theoretical approaches will be complemented by fire and explosion experiments, with emphasis on topics of strategic importance to Norway, such as tunnel safety, maritime applications, etc. Experiments include Rapid Phase Transition, Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion and jet fires. This paper gives an overview of the project and preliminary results.
