E-SHyIPS: Ecosystemic knowledge in Standards for Hydrogen Implementation on Passenger Ships
Information
About project
The European Commission adopted the hydrogen strategy with the idea that in an integrated energy system, hydrogen can foster decarbonization across Europe.
In line with this “philosophy” and considering that there is still no regulatory framework applicable to hydrogen-powered ships, the e-SHyIPS project involves 7 European countries to define new guidelines for an effective introduction of hydrogen in the maritime passenger transport sector.
Combining theoretical research activities with simulations and laboratory experiments, the project aims to outline an appropriate certification process and identify possible future standardization activities towards the goal of a zero-emission shipping scenario.

Concrete actions
The e-SHyIPS project is based on a structured program based on 5 pillars, each of which represents a line of research and activity.
PILLAR 1: STATE OF THE ART AND THEORETICAL STUDIES
PILLAR 2: SHIP DESIGN EXPERIMENTS
PILLAR 3: SAFETY SYSTEM EXPERIMENTS
PILLAR 4: MATERIAL AND COMPONENTS EXPERIMENTS
PILLAR 5: PORT – BUNKERING – SHIP INTERFACE EXPERIMENTS
Pubblished Deliverable
- D1.3 – State of the art of safety standardisation framework
- D6.2 – Standardization needs and SWOT analysis
Cen Workshop Agreement (in corso di sviluppo)
