EU issues hydrogen funding call
New EU body doubles budget for funding clean hydrogen projects
The EU’s Clean Hydrogen Partnership (CHP) has launched a call for proposals for projects to draw from its €300mn ($329mn) fund. There are two deadlines to apply: the first in May and the second in September. Innovative projects in the areas of green hydrogen, storage, transport, heat and power, hydrogen valleys, and strategic research are invited to apply. Partnership officials hope to see application from several flagship projects that will sit across a number of the different areas. The strategic research area will employ a multidisciplinary approach to address the sustainability and criticality of electrolyser and fuel-cell materials. “This momentous investment is essential to ensure the
