On 25/01, RICE (Villeneuve La Garenne site) hosted the kick-off meeting for the PilgrHYm project, coordinated by GRTgaz. This pre-normative research project, funded by the European Union as part of the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, aims to develop protocols and guidelines for converting existing gas pipelines to hydrogen. With a strong consortium of project partners and Advisory Board members, it brings together more than twenty major players in the gas transportation, academic and standardization fields.
On 26/01, participants also had the opportunity to visit GRTgaz's facilities in Alfortville, including FenHYx, a leading test platform dedicated to research into materials and equipment under hydrogen.
Thanks to all the partners present and to the Clean Hydrogen Partnership for their participation.
The RICE teams are proud to be leading this major project, and more generally to be promoting ambitious international R&D collaborations, with over 15 programs currently underway through various European and American funding schemes. We are firmly committed to accelerating the energy transition and preparing for tomorrow's H2 and CO2 networks and storage.
