Aquamarine Plus

Start: On 18 March 2022, HGS received an invitation from the Ministry of Energy (EM) to submit an application for an individual grant for the implementation of a hydrogen-based project. Our company designed the content of the project proposed for funding with a view to the development directions identified during the Aquamarine Project. Therefore, by carrying out research and development tasks, the project to be implemented aims to explore how to increase hydrogen usage, which is directly necessary for the expansion of the hydrogen economy, and by improving the hydrogen tolerance of current infrastructure elements, to provide a cost-effective alternative for their utilisation. The project elements to be implemented are:

• Hydrogen energy storage system development

• Establishment of dynamic control for compressor units operating in a hydrogen-blended natural gas medium.

• Development of coating technologies for tanks, steel pipes and plastic pipes

• Development of hydrogen compatibility and conformity assessment procedures

Objective: By carrying out research and development tasks, to explore how to increase hydrogen usage, which is directly necessary for the expansion of the hydrogen economy, and by improving the hydrogen tolerance of current infrastructure elements, to provide a cost-effective alternative for their utilisation.
