We are pleased to announce a new collaboration with the HYDRA project (Hydrogen Economy Benefits and Risks: tools development and policies implementation to mitigate possible climate impacts), marking the beginning of a promising synergy within the European hydrogen research and innovation landscape. As Europe accelerates its transition towards a hydrogen-based…

On 20 & 21 May 2026, the DESSERT consortium gathered for its latest General Assembly, kindly hosted by our partner AC2T research GmbH at their facilities in Wiener Neustadt, Austria. The two-day meeting featured a comprehensive and forward-looking agenda, with partners sharing key updates across all work packages. Importantly, the…

The existing upscaled test frame “RP5” has been adapted to allow using up to 100% hydrogen as test gas. The revamping of the frame has started with the acquisition of a compression station, installation of new high-pressure piping and compatible connections, valves, as well as the inclusion of a gas…

Researchers at Johannes Kepler University Linz have successfully developed a physics-based, multi-scale modelling framework to investigate hydrogen embrittlement in stainless steels as part of the DESSERT project. The model integrates hydrogen diffusion, microstructural evolution, and micromechanical behaviour, providing a comprehensive tool to assess material performance under hydrogen exposure.    …

DESSERT successfully participated in the European Hydrogen Energy Conference (EHEC) 2026, held from 11 to 13 March 2026 in Seville, Spain, one of Europe’s leading events dedicated to hydrogen energy science, technology, and policy. The conference brought together a dynamic community of researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators, creating a…
