GREEN Hydrogen mobility for the transition to climate neutrality
LIFE Programme – Grant Agreement No. 101158215

B&T Composites participates in the LIFE GREENH2ORN project, which aims to advance green hydrogen mobility and sustainable transport solutions in the region of Kozani, Greece.

The project will establish Greece’s first hydrogen refueling station with on-site green hydrogen production, supporting the transition to zero-emission urban mobility.

B&T Composites contributes high-pressure hydrogen storage systems based on lightweight carbon fiber composite materials. These systems support innovative hydrogen transport and storage solutions, including high-pressure tube-trailers.

LIFE GREENH2ORN demonstrates how green hydrogen can contribute to the decarbonization of transport, supporting cleaner air, reduced emissions, and the development of a regional hydrogen ecosystem.

B&T Composites participates in the HY2FISH project, a collaborative European research initiative focused on advancing innovative solutions for the maritime sector.

The project brings together industrial partners, research organisations, and maritime stakeholders to explore technologies that support the transition to more sustainable and energy-efficient maritime operations.

B&T Composites participates in the IndustriSphere Digital Twins project, which focuses on the digital transformation of industrial manufacturing through the development of Digital Twin technologies.

By integrating technologies such as 3D scanning, Augmented Reality (AR), Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), the project enables real-time monitoring, simulation, and optimization of industrial production systems.

The B&T Composites facilities serve as a pilot environment for the implementation and validation of Digital Twin technologies in a real industrial setting. This allows the project to collect operational data, test advanced monitoring systems, and demonstrate the practical benefits of digital twins in manufacturing environments.

The project supports data-driven, efficient, and sustainable production, enabling predictive maintenance, improved process control, and enhanced operational decision-making. It also integrates Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) to monitor environmental performance and carbon footprint.

Designing, Manufacturing and Operating Quantification of Uncertainties to increase Aviation Safety
Horizon Europe – Research and Innovation Action (Grant Agreement No. 101147454)

B&T Composites participates in the DEMOQUAS project, a European research initiative focused on improving the safety, efficiency, and reliability of future aviation systems by developing advanced methods for managing uncertainties in aircraft and engine design.

BTC contributes to the development and manufacturing activities of key components within the hydrogen pressure vessel demonstrator. The company also participates in testing and evaluation activities related to safety and performance, supporting the overall verification and validation process of the system. These activities contribute to assessing structural integrity, reliability and operational performance.

DEMOQUAS contributes to safer and more sustainable aviation while supporting the transition to cleaner propulsion systems compatible with hydrogen (H₂) and Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF).

Patent: Robotic Guidance Method with user orientation detection 1008886.

Optical fiber Bragg gratings are embedded within the composite lay-up of drive shafts during filament winding for monitoring vital operational parameters including buckling. We report strain measurement results, under torque loading, for embedded and externally attached sensors with different orientations with respect to the axis of the shaft.
