What is it about?
The transition to a hydrogen-based economy necessitates a paradigm shift in design approaches. Traditional engineering practices must be augmented with a holistic perspective that considers safety, environmental, social, and economic principles in the whole life cycle of the target system. The safe and sustainable-by-design (SSbD) approach, recently recommended at the European level in a specific framework, is the highest standard to reduce the negative life cycle impacts directly in the design phase. The GUESS-WHy project aims to improve the sustainability and safety of fuel cells and hydrogen (FCH) systems by promoting the SSbD methodology. GUESS-WHy proposes seven SSbD guidelines for seven different FCH systems, covering different technology readiness levels along the hydrogen value chain (production, storage, and utilisation).
