Driving impact through European projects
Hydrogen Europe Research participates in European projects that develop skills, map infrastructures, and promote hydrogen deployment across regions. These projects translate scientific excellence into real-world solutions, supporting Europe’s clean energy transition and accelerating the development of hydrogen technologies.
European Hydrogen Observatory
The European Hydrogen Observatory is the leading platform for comprehensive, up-to-date information on hydrogen across Europe. Serving as a central resource, it provides reliable data for policymakers, industry professionals, researchers, and the general public alike.
By contributing to the Observatory’s database of training programs, organisations can help build a pan-European repository focused on education and upskilling in hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. Hydrogen Europe Research is responsible for keeping the education and training material up to date.
To submit or update a program, contributors can easily access the Observatory through this link.
Green Skills For Hydrogen
The Green Skills for Hydrogen Project (GreenSkillsforH2, funded by the ERASMUS+ programme) is contributing to the development of a skilled workforce in Europe for the emerging hydrogen economy by addressing the skills gap and providing training to boost the industry.
GreenSkillsforH2 will help meet European hydrogen ambition by accelerating the upskilling and reskilling of students and members of the workforce across Europe.
Hydrogen Europe Research is part of the Consortium managing this initiative, which is led by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and has a total of 34 partners from 15 Member States of the European Union. These partners comprise six Work Packages (WP) that will jointly coordinate the various activities and tasks to be carried out throughout the life of the project.
HYPERION – Hydrogen Uptake in European Regions
HYPERION (funded by the Interreg EUROPE programme) supports European regions in the complex process of taking up advanced hydrogen solutions in various areas of their economic systems, as a move towards a smart and sustainable economic transition.
The goal of the project is to identify barriers to local hydrogen uptake and share best practices within regions to enable favorable policy changes for hydrogen activities.
Hydrogen Europe Research is participating in the project as an advisory partner, offering expertise on EU policies and hydrogen technologies to the eight regions involved.
SET4H2
SET4H2 is a Horizon Europe project focused on providing organisational, logistic and secretarial support to the newly formed Implementation Working Group on hydrogen under the SET Plan. This includes refining the IWG’s mission and identity, finalising the Implementation Plan and exploiting synergies with the activities of other SET Plan stakeholders and relevant European and international hydrogen initiatives.
SET4H2 will implement an integrated, systematic and interdisciplinary approach to address research needs in the hydrogen sector and enhance cooperation across Member States. The consortium of SET4H2 has experience both in the field of hydrogen and in the context of coordination within the SET Plan. The Consortium consists of key players of the European Agenda Process as well as the SRIA as a whole.
ACTHYVE
ACTHYVE supports the development of European Technology Infrastructures in the field of hydrogen and its derivatives. The project tackles this challenge by mapping, structuring, and aligning hydrogen Technology Infrastructures across the entire value chain with evolving market and policy needs.
To do so, the project will conduct a comprehensive mapping of Europe’s hydrogen Technology Infrastructures to identify capabilities, gaps, and opportunities across the entire value chain. In parallel, ACTHYVE will foster collaboration between research and industrial stakeholders to co-create solutions, identify gaps, and enhance testing, validation, and scale-up of capabilities. The project will improve access to these facilities, helping overcome key barriers such as high costs, limited availability, and lack of specialised services.
