Chinese Academy of Science Institute Becomes Partner of EU FP6 Hydrogen Project

After several rounds of scrutiny by experts in more than one year, the research proposal by an international team on hydrogen research, dubbed HyApproval, has won the support of the Sixth European Commission Framework Program for Research and Technological Development (FP6). A research group led by Prof. LI Qing from the CAS Institute of Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry is a partner of the research consortium.

The aim of the nearly four-million-euro project is to make a “handbook for approval of hydrogen refuelling stations” to be used to certify public hydrogen filling stations in Europe. The research will be conducted on the basis of a number of hydrogen projects in EU, US and Japan, including HySafe (Safety of Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier), StorHy (Hydrogen Storage Systems for Automotive Application), ECTOS (Ecological City Transport System), CUTE (Clean Urban Transport for Europe), ZERO REGIO (Lombardia and Rhein-Main towards Zero Emission) and CEP (Clean Energy Partnership Berlin).
