Giantleap Researcher Receives Award
Elodie Pahon, a young researcher working on Giantleap and previously on its predecessor project Sapphire at the University of Franche-Comté, was awarded the prize for best Young Scientist by Hydrogen Europe Research at a ceremony organised in connection with the FCH JU Programme Review Days on November 15, 2018.
Ms. Pahon won in the category associated to the Transport pillar (one out of only three categories) for her work in diagnostics and prognostics of fuel cells, the very core topic of projects Giantleap and Sapphire.
The Giantleap project congratulates Ms. Pahon and UFC on the award!

Hydrogen Conference in Trondheim, Norway
Giantleap will be represented with two presentations at an international conference to be held on May 14-15 in Trondheim, Norway. The conference is organised by Trondheim’s NTNU University and has a global scope, with keynote speakers from EU, USA, China and Canada. Continue reading “Hydrogen Conference in Trondheim, Norway”
MoZEES Annual Meeting
Giantleap will be represented by Ivar Halvorsen at the 2018 Annual Meeting of MoZEES, a Norwegian research group focused on zero-emission mobility gathering all main research institutions in Norway.
Ivar will be presenting the recent advances in Low-Frequency EIS for PEM Fuel-Cell Diagnostics.
Interfaces for Hydrogen Range Extenders
One of the main features of the Giantleap project is the idea of using fuel cells to extend the range of battery buses. To do so, battery buses and range extenders must be equipped with standardised electrical, mechanical and communication interfaces. Continue reading “Interfaces for Hydrogen Range Extenders”
