Project summary
Many regions across Europe are developing strategies to support the use of hydrogen. However, local industries and stakeholders often face barriers that make it difficult to adopt hydrogen as a sustainable option for their production processes and infrastructure. Most of these regions are highly dependent on fossil fuels, with industrial sectors that are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). At the same time, significant investments have already been made to develop the renewable hydrogen sector, which offers real potential to support Europe's green transition.
What is the challenge?
To make renewable hydrogen work at scale, we need to:
- Bolstering hydrogen demand and use across different sectors
- Improve how hydrogen is deployed
- Encourage cross-sector adoption
- Break down barriers within industrial supply chains
What will the project achieve?
PRHyUS aims to advance regional policy frameworks in Europe to support hydrogen demand, investment and use across different sectors and to facilitate the widespread deployment adoption of renewable hydrogen technologies. The project will contribute to the EU's goals of a “Greener Europe'' by facilitating greater knowledge of hydrogen technologies and seeking to contribute to a significant reduction in GHG emissions.
Who is involved?
The PRHyUS consortium brings together a diverse group of policy and technical partners from across Europe:
- Italy: Campania Region (Lead Partner), Fondazione Enrico Mattei
- Poland: Association of Municipalities Polish Network
- Belgium: Free University of Brussels
- Bosnia and Herzegovina: City of Gradiška
- France: Tenerrdis Energy Cluster
- Serbia: Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia
- Romania: Regional Development Agency Centru
- Germany: Regional Management Northern Hessen
Partners will work to improve 7 regional policy instruments and create the right conditions for hydrogen to be used widely, efficiently, and sustainably.
