Things
The IPCEI H2 Industry (IPCEI Hydrogen 2) supports research, development and innovation activities, including in the first industrial application, and will cover a large part of the hydrogen value chain, specifically dealing with: - the construction of infrastructures connected to hydrogen, in particular electrolysers; - large-scale transport infrastructure, for the production, storage and transport of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen; - the development of innovative and more sustainable technologies for the integration of hydrogen into processes industrial sectors of multiple sectors, in particular those most difficult to decarbonise, such as the steel, cement and glass sectors. IPCEI Hydrogen 2 is expected to foster the deployment of renewable, low-carbon hydrogen, thereby reducing dependence on natural gas supplies with the ultimate goal of contributing to the conversion of high-carbon assets of CO2 through the use of energy from renewable sources. The replacement of fossil fuels by hydrogen with the development of a whole set of innovations in production technology, unachievable without the use of the instrument of the Important Project of Common European Interest. IPCEI Hy2Use focuses on projects specifically addressing hydrogen-related infrastructure and hydrogen applications in the industrial sector.
