Our mission is to advance Science, Engineering and Technology for the establishment of a sustainable energy system using hydrogen particularly in the field of production, storage, safety and applications. The Institute for Hydrogen Research is a multidisciplinary team of over 50 people having at its disposal state-of-the-art equipment and laboratories.
The research and development activities carried out at HRI extend from material science and engineering, system development and technology demonstration to hydrogen safety.
The HRI is particularly interested in the development of advanced materials to address the technical gaps needed for commercially competitive Hydrogen Energy systems, in performing fluid dynamics simulations of hydrogen releases for safety, as well as the safety and lifetime analysis of new materials and Hydrogen Energy systems.
“The Hydrogen Research Institute has become a real benchmark, both nationally and internationally; we have been receiving great political and industrial visits from all over the world for a long time now; our infrastructure and the originality of the work are still impressive. Excellence and consistency in obtaining funding, whether through sponsorship or grants, has helped make the HRI a unique scientific environment that allows us to welcome young researchers and postdoctoral fellows from across the country. world which, in turn, enrich the various aspects of the research program through their contribution.”
