The energy supply of the future will be sustainable, environmentally compatible, safe and economical. The expansion of renewable energies is therefore one of the central building blocks of European climate and energy policy. Along with the increasing need for flexibility in the energy system, hydrogen is considered a key technology of the future.
Materials technology is an important cross-cutting topic, as hydrogen poses particular challenges in terms of materials technology.
The TP “Material Safety in the Hydrogen Economy” was set up to maximise the success and solution-orientation of the open questions in materials technology about hydrogen.
At vgbe, topics relating to materials in connection with hydrogen are bundled in this technical programme. Other vgbe committees will not consider these topics in this level of detail.
The newly formed expert group will identify, define and initiate new technical projects.
Both vgbe members and vgbe non-members are admitted to the TP (at different conditions). Detailed information can be found in the attached technical programme.
