We pioneer a new wave of hydrogen technologies through the Safe and Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) approach, improving safety, performance, and environmental impact across the entire life cycle.
GUESS-WHy (Grant Agreement No. 101192392) is a project funded under the Horizon Europe Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, dedicated to enhancing both sustainability and safety in Fuel Cell and Hydrogen (FCH) systems across Europe. The consortium unites research institutions, industrial stakeholders, and policy experts to produce practical guidance on Safe and Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) principles for multiple hydrogen applications.
By integrating lifecycle assessments, hazard identification, and stakeholder inputs, GUESS-WHy aims to refine product concepts, reduce negative impacts from the design phase onward, and bridge gaps identified in previous EU-funded projects such as eGHOST and SH2E. Through close collaboration, the partners intend to deliver validated, actionable guidelines that bolster the EU’s goal of a cleaner and safer hydrogen economy.
Being developed to address various hydrogen systems, covering TRLs from production and storage to utilization.
Nine beneficiaries and one associated partner collaborating over a thirty-six-month period.
Drawing lessons from eGHOST, SH2E, and JRC’s SSbD framework, to align industrial needs with EU safety and environmental goals.
Co – Funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking. Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them.
