Partner Interview: Mitja Mori from the University of Ljubljana

How can innovative hydrogen infrastructure be both technically advanced and truly sustainable? In our latest HYGHER partner interview, we speak with Mitja Mori from the University of Ljubljana, who shares insights into how sustainability and circularity are embedded in the project from the very beginning.

As a key research partner in HYGHER, the University of Ljubljana plays a central role in ensuring that environmental considerations are not an afterthought, but a core design principle. In the interview, Mitja explains why early integration of sustainability assessments is essential when developing high‑pressure hydrogen distribution technologies and how this approach supports long‑term scalability and market uptake.

From evaluating environmental impacts across the hydrogen value chain to aligning innovation with Europe’s climate goals, Mitja highlights how science‑based analysis helps guide better decisions throughout the project. His perspective underlines a key message of HYGHER: advancing hydrogen mobility means balancing performance, cost efficiency, safety, and sustainability.
