Euro-Quebec Hydro-Hydrogen Pilot Project 

Other possibilities of hydrogen consumption investigated are, e.g., the operation of an LH2 driven aircraft, heating power plant with gas turbine, the continuous supply of a steam power plant via a 1 km pipeline, and the leftover hydrogen to blend with natural gas to feed into the local gas distribution grid. 

All safety considerations performed in the framework of the EQHHPP have shown that the anticipated hydrogen systems do not pose an unacceptable risk on people and the environment This safety analysis resulted also in a compilation of all existing regulations to be followed in Germany if the project were existing [92]. 

With the start of Phase HI (1992 - 1998) of the EQHHPP, pre-approval activities and a hydrogen demonstration program have been started. Its most important features are  

Fact is that many single components exist already, so that no decisive technological breakthrough is necessary. However, further research efforts are required for the development of new components and their modification to enhanced application to hydrogen and for the introduction and demonstration of pilot plants [104].
