The two-year study, which will continue through 2026, is supported by Funding from the UK-India Education and Research Initiative.A joint research initiative between the University of Coventry and Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) is investigating how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help improve the safety of hydrogen transport. The project focuses on addressing hydrogen emissions- a process where metals like steel and nickel become brittle and are likely to fracture due to the absorption of hydrogen.
While hydrogen is seen rapidly as a major part of clean energy systems, transporting it safely remains an important challenge. The excursion can give rise to structural failures and leaks, pose a risk for both infrastructure and security.
Researchers at Coventry University’s Institute of Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering (AME) and Center for Advanced Low Carbon Propulsion Systems (CALPS) are working with VIT engineering and software experts to find out how to find out how the generic AI can be used to predict models and hugs. By identifying potential weaknesses before giving birth to problems, the team expects to support safe storage and development of transport systems.
The two-year study, which will continue through 2026, is supported by the UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI), a program that promotes educational cooperation between the two countries.
Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. Arivajhagan Annabalagan noted the importance of this research in the broader context of clean energy development, saying, ‘As hydrogen becomes more central for clean energy strategies, it is important that we understand how to handle it safely. Hydrogen emission is a serious issue, and it can help reduce the risk by using AI to predict and prevent and help make the infrastructure of hydrogen more reliable. ,
Cooperation also includes educational exchange and joint research training opportunities, including to build long -term capacity in both countries to solve complex engineering challenges.
