The rapid development of the European hydrogen value chain over the coming years is expected to generate approximately 1 million highly skilled jobs by 2030, and up to 5.4 million by 2050. 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 REPowerEU2030 targets 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 (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.
