The EU has initiated a funding call worth €600m to support hydrogen infrastructure projects that have been designated as Projects of Common or Mutual Interest (PCIs and PMIs). This funding is part of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) program and is intended to aid in project studies and construction activities. The call is open until September 16, 2025, with results expected early the following year. The focus is on projects with streamlined permitting and regulatory processes, particularly those granted PCI or PMI status. Among the listed projects are 65 hydrogen developments spanning Western, Central Eastern, and South Eastern Europe, as well as the Balkans. These initiatives aim to enhance hydrogen interconnections to facilitate cross-border energy flows. Additionally, the list includes projects related to electricity and carbon capture and storage (CCS) infrastructure. Energy and Housing Commissioner, Dan Jørgensen, stressed the urgency of boosting energy investments to establish essential links for seamless cross-border energy flows. The funding call presents a significant opportunity for advancing hydrogen infrastructure and promoting sustainable energy practices across Europe.
