This multidisciplinary research area focuses on the application of additive manufacturing to create tailored, optimized, and sustainable production solutions to implement hydrogen in energy, heat management, and transportation applications. Research challenges are to enable conversion of existing gas turbine solutions to hydrogen fuels, optimize post-AM (Additive Manufacturing) technologies to mitigate degradation by hydrogen, perform experimental validation and testing under realistic integrated conditions, incorporate additional aspects such as sensor technology into designs, develop models and treatments/methods to fight corrosion/oxidation and hydrogen embrittlement as well as electrical/thermal surface conductivity related problems.
Here Chalmers collaborate with Siemens Energy, RISE and Scania.
