At the 5th European Congress of Chemical Engineering (ECCE), the 8th European Congress of Applied Biotechnology (ECAB) and the 3rd Iberoamerican Congress on Chemical Engineering (CIBIQ) (Lisbon, 8–10 September 2025), IMDEA Energy researchers presented new insights from the GUESS-WHy project.
K. El Jardali, K. Ben Hnich, J. Dufour and D. Iribarren delivered a flash talk on:
“Exploring safety aspects towards a safe and sustainable-by-design framework for hydrogen systems.”
The talk stressed how safety is not an afterthought but a core pillar of Safe and Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD). Within GUESS-WHy, partners are working to develop seven new SSbD guidelines across the hydrogen value chain – covering production, storage, and use – to make hydrogen technologies safer, more circular, and more sustainable. This approach builds on the EU’s vision of embedding life-cycle thinking, safety assessments, and citizen engagement at the earliest design stages.
