(Alliance News) – Mare Group Spa announced on Tuesday that the European Commission has approved the Cryostar project under the Horizon Europe Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking program.

The project, which received a rating of excellence, will last 24 months and aims to develop an innovative certification methodology for cryogenic tanks for liquid hydrogen for future-generation commercial aircraft.

Cryostar is an ambitious Research & Innovation Action that addresses one of the main challenges of the aerospace energy transition: the safe storage of liquid hydrogen on board. The activities amount to EUR 5.1 million, entirely financed by non-repayable grants, with a share of EUR 726,875 for Mare Group, of which 50% is expected to be advanced by 2025.

The goal is to integrate innovative tanks into the rear fuselage of CS-25 aircraft to ensure leak tightness, impact resistance, and compliance with future regulatory requirements.

Mare Group is one of the main industrial partners in the project and will be responsible for the development and validation of structural systems and containment devices capable of absorbing impact loads and preserving the integrity of the tank in emergency scenarios, through full-scale testing, advanced numerical simulations, and direct interaction with international aviation authorities.

The Cryostar consortium involves five universities and research centers and eight high-tech companies in a multidisciplinary collaboration that integrates engineering, academic, and regulatory expertise at the continental level.
