Summary
The scope of this topic is to develop and validate novel insulation concepts for storage of liquid hydrogen. The concepts developed should be suitable for a later scale-up to dimension similar to LNG storage tanks for shipping and or onshore storage.
Detailed Call Description
The scope for the proposed project should include:
- Definition of insulation concept suitable for LH2 storage, including novel support structures and/or architecture;
- Material selection and integrity evaluation for LH2 exposure, e.g., strength, ductility, toughness, thermal expansion and compatibility;
- Thermomechanical evaluation of the insulation concept;
- Evaluation of consequences of fires;
- Insulation application evaluation for large scale tanks and support structure (including the construction methodologies for pre-fabrication, concrete base limitation, innovative supports, reduced schedule for construction/erection…);
- Risk analysis for safe operation (evaluation of hazardous scenarios);
- Concept design and cost estimation for large scale LH2 tanks;
- Tests at laboratory scale, at least, should be performed to support the viability of the concept at relevant conditions, e.g., with respect to temperature and stress conditions;
- The circularity/sustainability of the solution (material and operation) should be demonstrated.
