The HELIOS consortium is delighted to share recent advancements in hydrogen combustion research within our network. At the European Combustion Meeting in Edinburgh, PhD researcher Stijn Schepers (Eindhoven University of Technology) presented his work:“FGM Modeling of Hydrogen Boundary Layer Flashback in a Turbulent Channel”, supervised by Prof J.A. van Oijen. The study

On March 18-19, we held our fifth General Assembly meeting, hosted by Guido Stockhausen and Christian Fleing from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) team in Cologne, Germany. This in-person gathering brought together our project partners to discuss key developments in hydrogen-based gas turbines. It were productive days where we assessed

HELIOS Participated in EU–Japan Workshop on Hydrogen Combustion Technologies 25–26 March 2025 | Kobe, Japan The HELIOS project was presented as one of seven flagship initiatives at the 2nd EU–Japan Workshop on Hydrogen and Ammonia Combustion Technologies, held on 25–26 March 2025 in Kobe, Japan. Organised by the Clean Hydrogen

Hydrogen flames in action This new update builds upon our earlier work featuring a simplified 2D combustor setup with experimental results. We are now advancing the boundaries of hydrogen combustion research with state-of-the-art numerical simulations. Below, you can explore a simulation of this combustor geometry, developed by Stijn Schepers from

As we prepare to celebrate the holiday season, we want to take a moment to thank everyone who has contributed to the success of the Helios Project in 2024. The dedication, collaboration, and hard work have been instrumental in achieving significant milestones and driving remarkable progress toward our shared goals.

On November 21-22, 2024, the HELIOS project held its fourth General Assembly meeting and Mid-Term Review in Brussels, Belgium. The meeting was graciously hosted by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, bringing together project partners to share updates, review progress, and plan future milestones. Key discussions focused on advancements in hydrogen-based gas

On behalf of the entire HELIOS consortium, we are pleased to welcome you to our project newsletter of June 2024. HELIOS, funded by the EU and supported by the Commission’s Clean Hydrogen Partnership, is committed to reducing CO2 emissions in power generation by advancing hydrogen combustion technology in gas turbines.Our

The 2024 edition of the Turbo Expo Turbomachinery Technical Conference & Exposition, organized by ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers), took place at the modern London ExCeL Exhibition Center from June 24 to 28. This conference, one of the major event in the gas turbine sector, covered not only

We’re excited to announce our latest results on flame flashback in hydrogen combustion, a crucial area for advancing sustainable energy. Our small-scale experimental study by Rafael Pichler at the Technical University of Delft leverages cutting-edge experimental data to understand and prevent flashbacks, to be avoided in hydrogen combustion systems. This

Excited to share the third General Assembly meeting in the HELIOS project! April 10th, we held our third live meeting, kindly hosted by Antonio Ferrante and Alessandro Saponaro of Centro Combustione Ambiente Spa (CCA), located in Gioia del Colle, Italy. Our project partners came together to share updates on the developments of

Exciting news! Thomassen Energy achieved a milestone with the first successful HELIOS high-pressure Campaign! Their Flamesheet™ combustor prototypes, tested at DLR Cologne, showcased remarkable results. Flashback events were visualized for the first time, thanks to endoscopic measurement and high-speed UV camera technology. This breakthrough marks a significant stride towards eco-friendly

Roy Hermanns had the privilege of presenting the work of the HELIOS consortium at the EU Hydrogen Research Days. Big thanks to the organizers from Clean Hydrogen Partnership for making it possible. Appreciating the opportunity to contribute to the discussions!
