Hydrogen, Sustainability & Circularity: Sustainability Criteria and Supply Chains for Hydrogen
This learning resource introduces environmental, social, and economic sustainability criteria across the hydrogen value chain. It explores key hotspots in hydrogen production, storage, transport, and end use, alongside responsible sourcing, supply-chain due diligence, transparency, traceability, and relevant EU policy frameworks.
Hydrogen, Sustainability & Circularity: Life Cycle Thinking and End-of-Life Strategies (R-Strategies)
This resource explains how life cycle thinking supports circular decision-making for hydrogen technologies from raw-material extraction to end-of-life. It introduces the 10R hierarchy, including reuse, repair, refurbishment, remanufacture, recycling, and recovery and applies it to electrolysers, fuel cells, storage tanks, and related components.
Hydrogen, Sustainability & Circularity: Circularity Engineering, Modularity & Design for Disassembly
This resource examines how circularity can be embedded in hydrogen equipment at the design stage. It covers modularity, design for disassembly, and design for recycling, showing how design choices can support maintenance, replacement, refurbishment, material separation, and recovery of components in electrolysers, fuel cells, and storage systems.
