EOS has joined the MAT‑H2 consortium, a collaborative initiative centered on advancing supplies and applied sciences that assist the transition to the hydrogen economic system.
The consortium brings collectively main industrial and analysis organisations to deal with material-related challenges related to hydrogen purposes.
EOS will contribute to the challenge with its experience in metallic materials growth and additive manufacturing (AM) to assist the dependable and environment friendly use of hydrogen-powered methods.
Hydrogen is predicted to play a key function in lowering emissions throughout energy-intensive industries and energy technology. Nevertheless, hydrogen environments place demanding necessities on metallic supplies, making the event of appropriate supplies and manufacturing processes important for future adoption.
“Hydrogen will play an essential function sooner or later power panorama, however its profitable adoption relies on fixing advanced materials challenges. Additive manufacturing is a key enabler on this course of, creating new alternatives to develop, take a look at, and optimise supplies and elements for hydrogen environments with higher pace and suppleness”, mentioned Paula Kainu, Industrial Supervisor Power at EOS. “By way of the MAT-H2 consortium, EOS helps bridge the hole between analysis and industrial implementation by contributing experience in metallic AM, materials characterisation, and application-driven growth.”
The MAT‑H2 consortium is constructed round a collaborative ecosystem of business leaders and analysis organisations working to advance hydrogen applied sciences. The initiative is centred on Wärtsilä’s hydrogen-related growth actions referred to as WISE – Large and Clever Sustainable Power, a Enterprise Finland co-funded collaboration.
The consortium contains business leaders EOS, Neste, Nordic Tank, Teknos, SSAB, Bumax, SP Stainless, Wärtsilä and two analysis companions, VTT and College of Oulu.
