Why JRC?
More than 25% of all EU legislation has a significant S&T basis (e.g. food, chemicals, environment, energy)
• advanced analytical requirements, e.g. related to nuclear safety• harmonisation - best practice – validation;• training.
As a service of the European Commission, the JRC providesin-house scientific and technical support to Community policy making
In the last 2 years, the JRC has been involved in over 70 pieces of EU legislation
M. Steen – IEA HIA ExCo – Nov.2006
to provide customer-driven scientific and technical support for the conception, development, implementation and monitoringof EU policies
The JRC functions as a centre of science and technology (S&T) reference for the EU independent of commercial and national interests...

Energy at the JRC
to provide scientific and technical support for the conception, development, implementation and monitoring of community policies related to energy.
performance assessment of energy technologies: efficiency, safety, reliability, environmental compliance
new energy carriers: Hydrogen solar test installation for photovoltaic devices characterisation of vehicle emissions security aspects of energy infrastructures techno- and socio-economic aspects in energy
production, conversion and use
to become EC S&T reference for safer and cleaner energy technologies
M. Steen – IEA HIA ExCo – Nov.2006
Nuclear safety
Making both existing and new
designs of nuclear power plants in
enlarged EU & CIS even safer
Cleaner Energies
Supporting the transition towards
a de-carbonised, hydrogen
economy

M. Steen – IEA HIA ExCo – Nov.2006
Provide S&T support to EU policies on safer and cleaner energy technologies for sustainable development through acting as the EC in-house reference point on selected energy technology issues
Clean Energies Unit Mission
validating, harmonising and analysing data and information on sustainable energy technologies
validating, harmonising and standardising measurement and test methods and procedures (forerunners to codes & standards)
assessing, validating and benchmarking performance, efficiency, reliability, safety and environmental compliance of selected safer and cleaner energy technologies
S&T competence, state-of-the-art facilities, competitive work active communication of rationale and policy-impact of the work
programme and dissemination of its output
M. Steen – IEA HIA ExCo – Nov.2006
Experimental Activities
no development of new technologies, but
1) “enabling” activities in areas of:
• process issues related to alternative fuels and hydrogen from biomass
• characterisation and performance assessment of• fuel cells, stacks and systems• hydrogen storage technologies• hydrogen sensors
2) techno-economic assessment of energy technology issues
through own research and networking with EU stakeholders

The challenge: sensors that can sense leaks within the target timeframe at the desired detection level, assess the hazard, trigger an alarm or activate a protective device
Type of sensors: electrochemical, semi-conductor, catalytic pellistor, thermal conductivity and field effect transistor.
Objective: to establish unified testing procedures for H2- safety sensor performance (lifetime, sensitivity, accuracy, reaction time..) under real service life conditions
(3b) On-board vehicle hydrogen safety sensors
