Priorities and funded actions

Objectives

  • To allow science-based decision making for policy makers and industry players
  • Development of advanced cell, stack, and BoP components, including functional and structural materials exhibiting an improved performance and engineered to counteract degradation mechanisms
  • Contributing to the EU’s net-zero strategy by providing technological guidelines
  • Improvement of the perception of public towards hydrogen technologies, by ensuring a high visibility of the project and associated technologies to the local public and EU citizens, to connect initial demonstrations and to create synergies with existing energy infrastructure
  • Support the industrialisation of European Fuel Cell technology
  • Improvements to already conceptualised novel materials including electrocatalysts, electrodes, metallic interconnects, coatings, and seals enabling increased lifetime to the ensemble of both single cells and stacks
  • Collecting information on differences in Member States regulations in permitting and licensing processes of hydrogen projects across the EU
  • Extend the deployment of hydrogen and FC based powertrains to NRMM applications, thus establishing and consolidating a European supply chain for FC powertrains and components
  • Maintain European leadership in electrolyser production and strengthen the European value chain through the ability to deliver high-quality stacks
  • Strengthened European leadership in the exploration of natural hydrogen to identify and evaluate reserves and seek industrial production
  • Development of innovative solutions for material supply and/or processing for catalyst layer deposition and lamination of Gas Diffusion Layer GDLs/sub-gaskets
  • Reducing geopolitical risks relating to the development of clean technologies, including hydrogen technologies, in the EU
  • To boost off-grid renewable electricity generation in offshore installations and areas adjacent to underground storage, islands, and remote areas
  • Make hydrogen storage systems that are fit for purpose and that can reduce the cost and improve the efficiency of hydrogen supply across Europe available to industry
  • Encouraging demonstrations that lead to broader local, regional, and Union-wide deployment in various transport sectors
  • Anchorage of new demand for renewable hydrogen
  • Provide breakthrough and game-changing technologies for hydrogen production by ammonia cracking
  • Enhancing European leadership on hydrogen infrastructure solution based on compression technologies
  • Optimised resource utilisation via integration with downstream processes, enabling the efficient utilisation of resources, such as waste heat or by-products, leading to overall process optimisation and reduced resource wastage
