%X World-wide efforts aim at the decarbonization of the energy sector with an increasing fraction of renewable energies in the energy mix. Energy storage technologies are required to store excess energy generated from fluctuating sources to making it accessible on demand. In this context, the large-scale storage and transportation of liquefied (cryogenic) hydrogen (LH2) can be expected to play a fundamental role in a potential future hydrogen economy due to its high storage density. Ensuring the safe implementation of related LH2 technologies is mandatory with regard to economic benefit and public acceptance.The overall aim of the STACY project is to contribute to the safety of LH2 storage and transportation by experimentally determining fundamental safety-related parameters of hydrogen combustion not yet available for very low temperatures, developing and qualifying novel catalysts for catalytic recombiners to prevent the formation of flammable gas mixtures in case of LH2 leakages, and applying advanced numerical tools to study scenarios of potential hydrogen leakages and to assess the efficiency of mitigation measures.In an interdisciplinary approach, STACY brings together experts from internationally recognized institutions in the fields of combustion, catalytic recombination, catalyst development, and safety assessment. The transfer of well-established safety knowhow and technologies from nuclear hydrogen safety to the field of hydrogen storage and transportation intends to overcome existing artificial borders between nuclear and non-nuclear safety research.Keywords: Hydrogen safety, LH2, hydrogen combustion, safety assessment, passive auto-catalytic recombiners
