The LIFE3H project will create, test and replicate 3 Hydrogen Valleys (HV) in central Italy starting from the construction of buses powered by excess H2 from local industrial production, thus closing the loop at a local level. Transport is a major contributor to air pollution, emitting 32% of CO2 emissions in the EU. The need for more environmentally friendly mobility solutions is inevitable. Hydrogen is among the most promising decarbonisation options to provide sufficient energy for long-range and high payload transport due to its superior energy density nature. However, safety concerns are associated with the high flammability of hydrogen are still an open issue. The LIFE Securdomino tool may be extended to capture the dynamic risk profile hydrogen valleys and supporting the real-time assessment of safety-security threats in these facilities.

LIFE SecurDomino project and Intrepid Project are collaborating.

Both projects are cofinanced by EU and working on tools for real time disaster assessment and emergency management.
Securdomino tool predicts integrated safety-security hazards and risks and related domino effects, for the prevention of disasters; whereas the INTREPID system assess and monitors disaster areas, to minimise disaster effects, making rescue operations safer, faster and more efficient.

Thanks to the networking actions, the two projects are exchanging experiences on tool design, aiming at increasing the prediction capacities of the tools.

LIFE SECURDOMINO participated in the third and last pilot test of the INTREPID platform, which took place in Madrid, in September 2023. The test included a major explosion occurred in an hospital, provoking fire and structural damages to the building. Several unconscious persons were reported throughout the area, raising suspicion of additional chemical contamination.

Also, LIFE SECURDOMINO will take part in the final event of the INTREPID project in October 2023.
