Research project IM/VKI-HYDROGEN (Research action IM)
This project carried out by the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (VKI) is one of the priorities of the Federal Science Policy to strengthen the federal research infrastructure. Moreover, this project, which is part of the "Federal Hydrogen Vision and Strategy" presented by the Minister of Energy to the Council of Ministers on 29 October 2021, is also of strategic importance for the FPS Economy, SMEs, Self-Employed and Energy.
The aim of the project is to develop a generic infrastructure at a new location that can house the various facilities needed to carry out large-scale experimental tests with hydrogen technologies. The facility should host applied experiments covering the whole value chain of the hydrogen economy, with a particular focus on what falls under federal competence (in the area of hydrogen production, transport and storage, hydrogen applications in mobility and electricity generation, and plant safety).
