Discover four Horizon Europe projects managed by HaDEA that focus on
With the “Clean Hydrogen Coastline” project, EWE aims to integrate 370 megawatts of generation capacity, along with the corresponding storage of green hydrogen in underground salt caverns, into the energy supply system in the initial phase. The hydrogen – some of which will be generated by offshore power – will be used for a range of purposes including carbon-neutral steel production, the chemical industry and power plants. The project can also lay the groundwork for the operation of hydrogen-powered utility vehicles. Optimisation of the gas networks for the transportation of hydrogen in the north-west would make it possible to connect up networks used to transport the green gas in the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark.
Airbus, BMW and Michelin are among 11 companies set to receive millions in public subsidy to develop low-carbon hydrogen technology after EU competition officials approved a whopping package of state aid for an ''important project of common European interest'' (IPCEI).
The Hy2Move project, which as its name implies is intended to develop transport fuels, was prepared jointly by Estonia, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Slovakia and Spain, who requested an exemption from single market rules that normally prohibit national subsidies.
It is hoped the state aid will be matched by €3.3bn in private sector investment into projects such as developing fuels cells sufficiently powerful for use in ships and trains, and lightweight hydrogen tanks that can safely store the explosive gas for use as an aviation fuel.
Although it named the companies involved – also including smaller firms such as Slovak light aircraft maker Tomark and Estonian energy storage firm Skeleton – the Commission said it was unable to reveal details of the specific projects for which state aid has been approved until it has agreed "on any confidential business secrets that need to be removed".
Hy2Move is the fourth green hydrogen-related IPCEI to be approved after projects related to technology development, new real-world applications and infrastructure, and brings the total approved state subsidies to €18.9bn.
Margrethe Vestager, the European Commission vice-president responsible for competition policy, said hydrogen could help decarbonise transport, but that up-front investment could be "risky for one state or one company alone". She stressed that the anticipated private sector investment was a concrete figure based on calls for expressions of interest and agreements within the member states concerned, and not merely an expression of hope.
The upsurge of attention to hydrogen as a potential solution for decarbonising transport and heavy industry has led to talk of ''hydrogen hype'', and even Commission officials have expressed doubts about meeting the 2030 annual production target of 10 million tonnes of green hydrogen.
Under a recently adopted package of gas market rules, the European Commission has yet to develop legal criteria for ''low-carbon hydrogen'', which NGOs warned last month must be robust enough to ensure ''blue'' hydrogen made from natural gas is a genuinely climate friendly, and not merely a means of prolonging demand for the fossil fuel.

CLICK HERE TO ATTEND ONE OF THE BIGGEST HYDROGEN EVENTS IN EUROPE!
The hydrogen economy will redraw the energy map. There is absolutely no doubt that hydrogen will have a key role in the energy transition, especially to harvest the fast-growing amount of renewable energy. Therefore, in the global race to reach the Paris Agreement targets, hydrogen technologies are increasingly at the centre of the attention and are now considered crucial and lucrative opportunities. The hydrogen''s moment is definitely now!
That''s why more and more companies and investors are prioritising hydrogen. Yet, every business decision carries a risk and to mitigate them connections and knowledge-sharing are key. This event is a melting pot of powerful and influential leaders, policy makers, researchers, and end users each looking for the next big thing. Companies will find customers, investors and partners in the exhibition area as well as have be able to attend thought-provoking conferences.
Additionally, FREE public transport cards to be used on the metro, bus or tram will be available for use to all attendees!
Building on the success of the European Hydrogen Week 2023, also this year Hydrogen Europe, the European Commission and the Clean Hydrogen Partnership have teamed up to bring the entire hydrogen sector in one place for a whole week of conferences, exhibition and great networking opportunities.
In the conference streams, featured panels consisting of some of the most prominent stakeholders in the hydrogen industry covering the most pressing topics facing this new industry: the need for both urgency and pragmatism in creating the regulatory framework, the unique challenges different sectors face to decarbonise and how hydrogen can help, and how to remain a leader in an industry that has caught the attention of the rest of the world..
Across the exhibition room, attendees can get a first-hand view of the latest in electrolyser and fuel cell technologies as well as touch with hand and test hydrogen trucks, buses, and cars.
Connecting leaders of the industry and decision makers.
Engage, gain insights, and discover innovations from exhibitors.
Get to know the trends that will drive the renewable energy industry of tomorrow.

Today, the latest edition of the joint interactive map by ENTSOG, GIE, Eurogas, CEDEC, GEODE, GD4S (in cooperation with the European Hydrogen Backbone Initiative) has been published. This updated map displays the status of planned hydrogen projects in 2030, 2040 and 2050 and spans hydrogen projects for gas distribution, transmission, import terminals, storage, demand and production.
"On the cusp of the Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas Market Package being finalised, frequent map updates are essential to reflect the good advancements being made by hydrogen project promoters to decarbonise their activities"
A total of 91 new projects were submitted for this edition, across all parts of the hydrogen infrastructure value chain. Approximately two thirds of those projects submitted represent hydrogen demand and production. The involved associations are committed to facilitating updates to the Hydrogen Infrastructure Map twice a year, to ensure that it is a ''living'' map comprising the most up-to-date status of the hydrogen projects network.
The update shows that infrastructure is an enabler in developing the hydrogen economy, and is not a bottleneck if deployed on scale and in time with proper support for the project promotors.
Repurposing the existing infrastructure is key to connecting hydrogen supply and demand clusters to create a pan-EU Hydrogen Backbone and will provide for decarbonisation at local level and enable the EU-wide trades.
Hydrogen storage is an essential technology required for the emergence of a RES-based future and hydrogen ecosystem. The terminals and ports are key to facilitate imports of hydrogen and its derivatives when the EU-made volumes would not cover the emerging demand.
Connections between the hydrogen distribution and transmission system are an immediate opportunity to create synergies among sectors at a local level, while providing for their security of supply and increasingly liquid markets for the hydrogen consumers.The map also satisfies the European Commission''s request to visualise "all hydrogen infrastructure projects collected under different existing processes in a form of a map" in their conclusions at the 36th European Gas Regulatory Forum in May 2022.
