Objectives
The overall objective of AdvancedH2Valley is to strengthen and accelerate the development of complementary renewable hydrogen projects, promoted by companies and organisations previously involved in pilot projects at local level and willing to scale-up their initiatives and better integrate them on a complete H2 value chain. AdvancedH2Valley will pursue this objective in the framework of an interregional hydrogen valley involving regional and local authorities, companies, local energy providers and universities.
Impacts
Global decarbonizing industry and mobility
Economic: systematic consideration of
hydrogen production and use in energy
policies. Manufacturers of electrolysers will
accelerate their production capacity to meet
market needs with sales price reductions
benefiting their customers.
Societal: reduction of greenhouse gases
emissions in both energy production and
hydrogen applications.
Political: acceleration towards energy
transition.
Sustainable and innovative hydrogen economy
Increased ecosystems with 20 neighbouring
Regions; growing renewable hydrogen
demand and use reduction of costs to
facilitate access to market.
Replication and awareness raising on renewable hydrogen
45 other regions acting as replication sites. Improved public perception of hydrogen
ecosystems. Awareness raised of 500k people and skills increase of 13K students on renewable hydrogen.
