Dr. Athanasios Stubos, Research Director, holds a Diploma in Chemical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece (1984) as well as a PhD in Applied Sciences from the Von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, Univ. Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium (1990) and he has over 30 years’ experience in heat & mass transfer processes for a wide range of applications spanning from gas storage/separations, enhanced oil recovery, depollution technologies, biomaterials, nuclear reactor safety, characterization of underground reservoirs and soil decontamination, giving lately strong emphasis on hydrogen technologies.
He heads the Integrated Hydrogen Laboratory and has served as Director of the Institute of Nuclear and Radiological Research and Technology, Energy and Safety (INRTEA) of the National Center for Scientific Research “Demokritos” (2013–2023), Vice President of the Center for Renewable Energy Sources (CRES), and Vice President of NCSR “Demokritos.” He has also undertaken, on behalf of the European Commission, activities to promote cooperation between Europe and the member states of the International Partnership for the Hydrogen Economy, while also serving as the country’s National Representative in the EU’s Clean Hydrogen Partnership and as a member of the Committee for the formulation of the National Strategy for Hydrogen and Renewable Gases.
Development of an Autonomous RES-driven Hydrogen Refueling Station (HRS) The H2TRANS project is developing the first hydrogen fuel refueling station in Greece. The final facility will consist of four basic elements:
SHIPFC's main mission is to prove and show the case for large-scale zero-emission shipping through developing, piloting and replicating a modular 2MW fuel cell technology using ammonia as fuel.
HYSHIP focuses on building and scaling (to 20MW) fuel cell approaches that lower operational cost (capex) and design cost of LH2 PEM operations through the development and validation of a 2MW fuel cell liquid hydrogen ship, used in a hydrogen bunkering and supply chain, along with developing busines...
ATLAS-MHC focused on the development and evaluation of hydrogen compressors for electricity storage through upscaling a laboratory prototype metal-hydride compressor (MHC) and evaluating the pilot scale, precompetitive MHC implemented in a complete renewable energy storage system aiming to bring it ...
NESSHY, coordinated by EREL, has been the first European Integrated Project aspiring to drive forward the research and development of solid storage of hydrogen for vehicle propulsion and associated distribution functions, covering porous storage systems, regenerative hydrogen stores (such as borohyd...
CALIPSO addresses great challenges for European defense autonomy, sustainability and operability, focusing on naval and land defense sectors. The project seeks to revolutionize military vehicle propulsion by integrating sustainable fuel technologies (spin-in from civil sector). CALIPSO strategically...
The main objective of the TRIĒRĒS project is the creation of a “Small Scale Hydrogen Valley”, with geographical reference to the Motor Oil Refinery of Ag. Theodoroi in Corinth. By linking the green hydrogen production unit that the MOH is developing there within the EPHYRA project, with businesses, ...
The program aims to improve the environmental footprint of shipping. It focuses on the following key areas: development of alternative solutions to traditional fuels, improving energy efficiency in ships and ports, using new digital technologies for better operational management, and encouraging rec...
Ship-aH2oy is a European research and innovation action with partners from across the maritime value chain. We aim to develop and demonstrate a safe and scalable solution for zero-emission shipping using Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carrier (LOHC) and fuel cell technology.
Despite the growing momentum of renewable fuels, several challenges remain. These include high production costs, infrastructure limitations, regulatory gaps, and market fragmentation. This integrated study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the market potential and opportunities for renewab...
The aim of the project is to study and implement good practices, new methods, and innovations for: a) the adoption of hydrogen, liquefied natural gas, ammonia, electricity (as a propulsion "fuel") and other alternative fuels, and b) corresponding applications that can be adopted by ports and ships w...
Preparation of a comprehensive study for the conversion of the natural gas network (taking all parameters into account) so that it is ready to receive hydrogen. The injection of hydrogen into natural gas networks has been widely adopted both in Europe and worldwide in order to achieve the following ...
