EMR H2 Booster

About: In the context of climate change and several international agreements to combat it, interest in hydrogen has seen a major surge in recent years. Being a gas that can be produced from renewable electricity (through water electrolysis), hydrogen will play a key role in the decarbonised energy system of the future. After all, molecular energy carriers provide flexibility as a storage medium and can help balance the variability of a largely renewable energy system. Most importantly, hydrogen can be used to decarbonise sectors where electrification is either extremely difficult or costly, such as industry or heavy duty transport. Also, hydrogen could replace fossils that are used as a feedstock in various industrial processes, thereby reducing emissions also beyond the energy system.

Based on the above mentioned contribution from hydrogen to the European Green Deal, we have developed a project, based on real needs, which directly meets the goals as defined in the EMR programme about promoting green growth. Our project, EMR Hydrogen Booster, aimed at boosting the realisation of a hydrogen economy in the EMR region, as such contributes directly to the European Green Deal.
