Hydrogen Technology Innovation Award
The aim of the call is to support all scientific and research results and innovative solutions that target novel applications of hydrogen technology in energy, transport, construction, agriculture or heavy industry. The submitted entries must qualify as intellectual creations and must also be commercially exploitable.
On 1 March 2022, the Clean Hydrogen Partnership published its current call for proposals with two submission deadlines: 31 May 2022 and 20 September 2022. In 2022, the Partnership is allocating EUR 300 million to support projects that boost renewable hydrogen production, reduce its costs, develop storage and distribution solutions, and encourage the use of low-carbon hydrogen. The call also encourages the development of “hydrogen valleys” across Europe – complex projects that cover the entire hydrogen value chain in a given region and create interconnected hydrogen ecosystems across Europe.
The National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NKFIH), in cooperation with the Express Innovation Agency (XIA), organised an online information event on 29 March 2022, which presented the current calls of the Horizon Europe Clean Hydrogen Partnership and introduced the related organisations.
