“Hydrogen is key for the decarbonisation of the energy mix, industry and mobility applications and, it will play a major role in the acceleration of the energy transition”
CLEANHYPRO, the largest European R&D electrolysers project, will count with the contribution of 28 partners including SMEs, large companies and RTOs
This consortium will create a platform to provide multidisciplinary services to companies in order to help boosting innovative electrolysis technologies and materials which will get them closer to the market. Fraunhofer, TNO, VTT, EIT Innoenergy and Mondragon Assembly are some of the partners of the consortium led by TECNALIA.
CLEANHYPRO is the first Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) in the field of hydrogen funded by the European Commission under Horizon Europe programme. With a total budget of 13.77 M€ and funding of 11.72 M€, during 4 years the initiative will support companies in their development, characterization, modelling, regulation and business model activities.
TECNALIA in hydrogen
TECNALIA has been working for more than 20 years on the development and scaling up of technologies for hydrogen generation, distribution, transport, storage and use. "We are committed to reinforce our R&D activity for the sector to enhance the green hydrogen deployment. For this purpose, we have acquired unique testing equipment for different hydrogen technologies and we are going to launch new dedicated laboratories", says Ekain Fernandez, head of hydrogen technologies at TECNALIA.
TECNALIA is working on different initiatives such as the development of advanced electrolysis technologies and its key components for hydrogen production, testing of materials for hydrogen distribution and storage, and the creation of a training programme for the industry, among others.
Hydrogen is key for the decarbonisation of the energy mix, industry and mobility applications and, it will play a major role in the acceleration of the energy transition. Green hydrogen is expected to be part of the solution to reach Europe's goal of net zero emissions by 2050 and thus avoid global warming.
