EOS has joined the MAT-H2 consortium, a collaborative initiative focused on advancing materials and technologies for the hydrogen economy. The consortium brings together leading industrial and research organisations to address material-related challenges associated with hydrogen applications.
Why Materials Are the Bottleneck
Hydrogen is expected to play a key role in reducing emissions across energy-intensive industries and power generation. But hydrogen environments place demanding requirements on metallic materials — and that makes the development of suitable materials and manufacturing processes essential for future adoption. This is precisely the gap the consortium aims to close.
What EOS Brings to the Table
EOS will contribute its expertise in metal material development and additive manufacturing (AM) to support the reliable and efficient use of hydrogen-powered systems.
"Hydrogen will play an important role in the future energy landscape, but its successful adoption depends on solving complex material challenges. Additive manufacturing is a key enabler in this process, creating new opportunities to develop, test, and optimise materials and components for hydrogen environments with greater speed and flexibility," said Paula Kainu, Industrial Manager Energy at EOS.
"Through the MAT-H2 consortium, EOS is helping bridge the gap between research and industrial implementation by contributing expertise in metal AM, material characterisation, and application-driven development."
A Collaborative Ecosystem Around WISE
The MAT-H2 consortium is built around Wärtsilä's hydrogen-related development activities called WISE — Wide and Intelligent Sustainable Energy — a Business Finland co-funded collaboration.
The consortium's membership spans industry leaders EOS, Neste, Nordic Tank, Teknos, SSAB, Bumax, SP Stainless and Wärtsilä, alongside two research partners: VTT and University of Oulu. That mix of industrial and academic capability reflects the initiative's stated ambition: moving hydrogen material development from research into industrial implementation.
