WP2 addressed technologies and frameworks for hydrogen transport, storage and distribution, including metering, subsurface storage concepts, pipeline behaviour and regulatory conditions for hydrogen‑based fuels. These activities contributed to HyValue’s broader goal of developing safe and resilient value chains.
From 2026, WP2 is no longer an active work package. Remaining work has been transferred to WP3 and WP6 to ensure better alignment with end‑use applications and value‑chain integration.
Focus areas (2022–2025)
Efficient transport and distribution systems
Supply‑chain performance, metering and distribution conditions that influence end‑use applications.
→ Transferred to WP3 (Task 3.4)
Metering and measurement technologies
Assessment and validation of metering solutions across hydrogen supply chains.
→ Transferred to WP3 (Task 3.5)
Subsurface storage feasibility
Studies of geological storage options for hydrogen and ammonia, including technical and regulatory considerations.
Infrastructure and pipeline behaviour
Evaluation of hydrogen transport in pipelines, including flow behaviour and comparison to natural gas systems.
Regulatory frameworks and standardisation
Critical review of regulatory conditions and standardisation needs for hydrogen infrastructure.
→ Integrated into WP6 (task 6.2)
WP2 contribution
WP2 provided foundational insights on:
- measurement and validation needs across hydrogen supply chains
- feasibility of subsurface storage solutions
- infrastructure constraints and opportunities
- regulatory and standardisation gaps for hydrogen transport
These insights now support ongoing work in WP3 and WP6 and remain part of HyValue’s research.
Where to find continued work
WP3: End‑user applications
Metering, validation platforms, and integration with industrial and maritime systems.
WP6: Integrating hydrogen in value chains
Infrastructure policy and regulation.
