Hydrogen safety
Safety is one of the most important aspects in the hydrogen economy both in the Netherlands and worldwide; therefore, we dedicate a significant part of the HyDelta research programme towards answering some of the most urgent and important questions about safety of hydrogen transport, that include questions both related to hydrogen in the built environment as well as questions independent of the mode of transport.

Hydrogen in the gas grid
Hydrogen in the gas grid refers to the work packages in the HyDelta program carrying out specific questions about the operation, maintenance, and component selection for the transport of hydrogen in the existing gas transmission and distribution infrastructure. This work has been placed in the context of the existing standards and operating procedures of the Dutch gas transport system operators, but the results can be applicable to other gas transport systems in the world.

Value chain & Hydrogen admixing
Besides the technical requirements for the transport of hydrogen in the existing gas transport infrastructure, the financial case needs to be proven. Furthermore, the inclusion of hydrogen as an extra fuel in the existing fuel trading and consumption systems i.e., the trading of certificates, the standards for admixing and the availability of subsidies and other policy instruments, will have consequences that we need to investigate before being able to provide a full picture of the potential of hydrogen as a booster to our economy. The value chain and hydrogen admixing work packages aim at investigating the state of the art of the hydrogen technologies, the potential business cases that exist aroud them, and an investigation into the topic of hydrogen admixing from a policy perspective.
