CryoMet reinforced its role as an innovative project in the field of measuring bio-liquefied natural gas (bio-LNG) and liquefied hydrogen (LH2) at the 23rd European Conference on Thermophysical Properties (ECTP 2026), held from 21–24 June 2026 in Gouvieux, France. CryoMet presented three different areas of our research activities, and moreover, several project partners attended the conference, allowing a greater exchange of ideas with the international thermophysical properties community. 

Riley Latcham, Research Associate in the Thermophysics Group at the Imperial College London (IMPERIAL), presented the talk “Speed-of-Sound and Raman Spectroscopy of Hydrogen Spin-Isomer Mixtures”. The presentation showcased our progress on the SI-traceable determination of the ortho- and para-hydrogen composition of liquid hydrogen. 

Gensheng Lin, Researcher in Thermophysical Properties of Bio-LNG and Cryogenic Hydrogen at Leibniz University Hannover (LUH), represented CryoMet with the “Novel Measurement Protocol for LNG Density at Cryogenic Conditions Using a Vibrating-Tube Densimeter” presentation. The content outlined the developments in direct LNG density measurements. 

Gensheng Lin also presented the poster “A Reference Standard Raman Spectrometer for the Determination of the Hydrogen Isomer Composition”. In this case, the poster highlighted the progress toward the development of a reference Raman system for hydrogen isomer composition measurements. 

The conference was also attended by Martin Trusler, Professor of Thermophysics at IMPERIAL, Markus Richter, Professor of Thermodynamics at LUH, and Luca Bernardini, Research Assistant at the Institute of Thermodynamics at LUH. The event provided an excellent opportunity for project partners to discuss ongoing activities, strengthen collaboration, and exchange ideas with researchers working in related fields.
