About SH2IFT Project
SH2IFT is a four-year project that started in April 2018, focusing on research for hydrogen fuel handling and use. The project is coordinated by SINTEF Industry, with partners which include RISE Fire Research in Trondheim, SINTEF Energy Research, NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), Institute of Transport Economics, and Christian Michelsen Research/NORCE.
SH2IFT is funded by the Research Council of Norway through the ENERGIX programme (project number 280964) and sponsored by industry partners and authorities, including Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Norwegian Railway Directorate, Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection, County authorities, Akershus, Hordaland, Møre & Romsdal, Trøndelag, Finnmark, Equinor, Shell, NASTA, Statkraft, Ariane, Air Liquide, and Nye Veier.
This project has five work packages:
- WP1 – Societal concerns and barriers
- WP2 – Fire and explosion experiments
- WP3 – Gaseous hydrogen transport and use
- WP4 – Liquid hydrogen transport and use
- WP5 – Recommendations and guidelines
Gexcon’s Role in the SH2IFT Project
Gexcon has been involved in several different aspects of the SH2IFT project, including validation, and improving consequence modelling specific to hydrogen jet fires; as well as conducting and coordinating some of the experimental work (incl. liquid hydrogen BLEVE experiments).
SH2IFT Project final workshop
The SH2IFT project proudly invites you to a final workshop on hydrogen safety, where we will present our experimental and modelling work and study on public acceptance.
Additionally, we will have invited talks from industry and academia on relevant activities.
Join us on May 3rd and 4th for the final SH2IFT workshop on the handling of liquid and gaseous hydrogen. The workshop will be free of charge and organised as a hybrid event, with limited seats at the location in Trondheim, Norway.
