The SHIMMER project
- In the EU project SHIMMER, the German institute for materials research and testing BAM is working on a comprehensive knowledge database. There, important information on standards for safe materials and components as well as on the European gas infrastructure is to be made available. SHIMMER will be led by the Norwegian research organization SINTEF. The project brings together twelve European institutions, including national institutes and gas network operators from the countries Spain, Italy, Norway, Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.
The injection of hydrogen (H₂) into existing gas networks brings with it both technical and regulatory challenges. They particularly concern the material integrity of pipelines and the harmonization of legal requirements.

The research project already started in September 2023 and will end in August 2026. Financing comes from the EU program “Horizon Europe – Clean Hydrogen Partnership.”…
