H. Beens (Harro)

Hi! I am a highly driven person with a passion for physics and how to implement its technologies in society, especially when it comes to the energy-transition. I am open, goal-oriented, and never shy from a challenge. If you're seeking a physicist who not only develops engineering solutions for tomorrow's challenges, but also offers strong social skills and a broad range of relevant competencies, I’m your man!

Expertise

• Engineering

  • Boil-off
  • Storage Tank

Organisations

One of the major challenges in large-scale hydrogen storage is boil-off, a significant loss mechanism. Minimizing it is crucial for realizing safe, environmental-friendly and economical large-scale hydrogen storage in the energy sector. Although Zero Boil-Off (ZBO) systems demonstrated their feasibility in the space sector, their costs prohibit implementation for on-ground storage, where scalability and affordability are more stringent. This research is centered on developing an ambitious, highly efficient ZBO system that both eliminates the problem of boil-off and is economically competitive.
