GUESS-WHy project was featured in the poster authored by Sari Alfreijat and Giovanni Cinti from the Università per Stranieri di Perugia, along with Stefano Barberis from BluEnergy Revolution Soc. Coop. and Jure Gramc from the University of Ljubljana, titled “Cradle-to-Use Life Cycle Emissions of an Alkaline Electrolyzer” in the framework of the European Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Piero Lunghi Conference 2025 (Capri, 17–19 September).
The work used a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to study the environmental impact of an alkaline electrolyzer, looking at everything from raw materials and manufacturing to hydrogen production. The results showed that the use phase has the highest impact, mainly due to electricity consumption, while efficiency and clean power sources can make a big difference.
This connects directly to GUESS-WHy’s goal of creating Safe and Sustainable-by-Design guidelines for hydrogen technologies. By linking environmental assessment with design and operation, the project supports the development of a cleaner and more responsible hydrogen economy.
