Summary
The use of hydrogen and other alternative energy sources as a clean and sustainable source have been gaining momentum worldwide due to their potential of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy.
To map, analyze and understand the safety risks of the widespread deployment of hydrogen and other alternative energy technologies, a new multidisciplinary research group has been established at the Faculty of Safety Engineering (FSE), VSB-Technical University of Ostrava (VSB-TUO) to reflect the requirements and needs of industry, public authorities, and other stakeholders, to help them establish a safe environment, promote public acceptance of these technologies, and build a critical mass of knowledge for their further development.
SafeEnergy project will use scientific potential in the field of hydrogen and alternative energy sources safety, and support FSE in international networking, projects, and other initiatives on an international level. This will be achieved through the leadership of the ERA Chair holder – experienced researcher and manager Prof. Salzano from the University of Bologna, creation of a “pocket of excellence” – Centre for Research on the Safety of Alternative Energy Sources and through building capacity in the field of research management and administration at the Faculty of Safety Engineering, VSB-Technical University of Ostrava.
Scientific collaboration will be established and developed through networking activities and joint research with industrial partners and international partners from Europe and worldwide to increase excellence in energy safety with a focus on hydrogen cities and valleys.
The project will especially support young scientists - postdocs and PhD students. To step up and stimulate scientific excellence and innovation capacity in hydrogen and alternative energy infrastructure safety, the project proposes a comprehensive set of activities.
