Mission
The HyMOCA project aims to advance hydrogen storage technology by developing high-performance composite tanks with improved durability and sensing capacity. The focus is on enhancing the efficiency and reducing costs of high-pressure vessels for hydrogen storage. The project involves a consortium of partners from Luxembourg, Turkey, and Germany, bringing expertise in nanotechnology, modeling, simulation, composite processing, sensor integration, and structural health monitoring. The goal is to contribute to the transition to a low-carbon economy by creating market opportunities, improving resource and energy efficiency, and aligning with European strategic policy targets and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The project starts at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 3 and aims to reach TRL 5, validating the technology in relevant industrial environments.
