Guardiane-Q

GUARDIANE-Q is an industrial research project focused on the design and validation of a comprehensive protection system for critical renewable hydrogen storage infrastructure.

The project combines intelligent monitoring, advanced cybersecurity, and multi-threat response protocols to strengthen the resilience of these strategic infrastructures. By integrating diverse technological domains—from advanced risk analysis to resilient communications, edge computing, and post-quantum cryptography—GUARDIANE-Q explores new capabilities to anticipate, detect, and mitigate physical, environmental, and digital threats.

Its purpose is to contribute to strengthening the resilience of national energy infrastructures, improving technological autonomy in strategic sectors, and consolidating sovereign protection capabilities against hybrid threats.

Coordinated by Trinity Energy Storage, GUARDIANE-Q is being developed in consortium with H2B2 Electrolysis Technologies, Plexus, Hydra Space Systems, and Quside, along with the collaboration of various research centers and specialized organizations, including CIEMAT, CNH2, UDC, UPM-LOM, INTA, and UPM-ETSIAE-IDR. UPM-ETSIT-GR, IKERLAN, and EURECAT.

With a planned duration of 48 months —from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2029—the project has a total budget of €7.04 million, of which €5.47 million is funded by the Centre for Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI) within the framework of the Science and Innovation Missions 2025 program, under Mission 6, which focuses on strategic autonomy in security and defense.
