Advancing Hydrogen Technologies: HER updated Research Position Paper

Advancing Hydrogen Technologies: HER updated Research Position Paper

Over the past year, the Low TRL Research Working Group has been dedicated to developing and refining the content of HER position paper (released in 2022), with valuable contributions from the broader membership and Board Members. We are now proud to present this comprehensive document.

The primary aim of the position paper is to highlight research activities, primarily focused on low TRL research, that merit support from EU funding programs and the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, among other initiatives.

This paper sets out a strategic vision for advancing research and innovation in the hydrogen sector, structured around five key pillars:

  1. Hydrogen Production
  2. Hydrogen Storage, Transport, and Distribution
  3. Hydrogen End-Uses
  4. Transversal Activities
  5. Research and Technology Infrastructures

Each pillar details critical areas of research essential for driving progress toward a clean energy transition and the decarbonization of society. This position paper serves as an important roadmap, guiding efforts and aligning priorities for future advancements in hydrogen research and technology.
