Summary
The scope of the topic is the full-scale analysis of existing concepts to store LH2 to develop and integrate an improved LH2 vessel in at least 2 road long distance heavy-duty vehicles, with over 800km range without refuelling, to evaluate the feasibility of the technology. Capacities and refuelling speeds should be in the 40-100 kg LH2 in one or more vehicle storages depending on the vehicle design and 7-10 kg/min range, respectively. Cost estimates for the storage system should be provided.
Detailed Call Description
The analysis shall contain materials (including resistance to corrosion as necessary), piping and instrumentation, controls, safety designs but also refuelling procedures, interfaces, and balances of plant equipment to propose modification or creation of relevant norms. Key parameters for heavy-duty road vehicles shall be the focus of the project, including easy handling and connection at the refuelling without specialised personal, effect of dormancy and boil-off, space limitation, limited volume compared to larger storages, long lasting safety equipment. The analysis shall be done to provide improvements and optimisation on different aspects, physical parameters of the LH2 to density, tanks composition and peripherics regarding volumetric efficiency and potential losses of hydrogen in the overall efficiency.
Proposals should focus on defining, building and understanding of a full scale LH2 tank system for heavy-duty road application and its refuelling, with at least a complete test bench fulfilling the technical readiness level.
NOTE: The following activities are considered to be out of scope for this topic: liquefaction technologies, well-to-wheels costs, liquid hydrogen supply chain.
