Clustering workshop summary and synergies: Environmental impact & sustainability of hydrogen technologies
Our partners from ENSO joined the clustering workshop on 20 June 2025, titled “Environmental Impact & Sustainability of Hydrogen Storage and Production: LCA Insights from EU Projects”. The event was co-organised by our sister projects, MOF2H2 and HyStrAm, and the EU-funded projects MAST3RBoost and MOST-H2, to discuss sustainability in hydrogen production and storage. The main objective was to explore how environmental, economic, and social assessments can be integrated using harmonised and transparent methodologies, similar to strategies implemented in the DARE2X concept.
The workshop featured both the technical presentations of these breakthrough technologies as well as in-depth methodological discussions about the life cycle assessment of their reference units, system boundaries, scenario modelling and the potential reuse and recyclability of materials.
While each projects addresses different segments of the hydrogen value chain, they are all converging around shared tools and databases—such as Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) guidelines, ReCiPe and Ecoinvent—ensuring transparency and comparability. This alignment opens the door to future collaboration, joint publications, and strategic coordination across EU research efforts. DARE2X, with its focus on sustainability, modelling, and circularity, is well-positioned to contribute to and benefit from these synergies.
Special thanks to our ENSO partners for highlighting these valuable outcomes.

The DARE2X project is led by the Danish Technological Institute (project coordinator), Hulteberg Chemistry & Engineering, the Kemijski inštitut – National Institute of Chemistry (NIC), the University of Liverpool, LOMARTOV, and ENSO Innovation.
