Clean Hydrogen Partnership's Bold Vision: Investing in a Sustainable Hydrogen Future
Key Ideas
  • The Clean Hydrogen Partnership has launched a €184.5m 2025 Call for Proposals under the Horizon Europe programme to fund projects in hydrogen production, storage, and fuel cells for heavy-duty vehicles and maritime applications.
  • €80m is allocated to the Hydrogen Valleys initiative, aiming to expand hydrogen applications in key sectors while improving material durability, safety, and reducing production costs.
  • Valerie Bouillon-Delporte, Executive Director, emphasized the focus on enhancing fuel cell technologies, hydrogen electrolysis efficiency, and strengthening Europe's hydrogen infrastructure to create a competitive clean hydrogen value chain.
  • Applications must be submitted by April 23, 2025, via the EU's Funding and Tenders portal to contribute to research and innovation for a sustainable hydrogen future in Europe.
The Clean Hydrogen Partnership has launched its 2025 Call for Proposals under the Horizon Europe programme, with a significant budget of €184.5m ($190m). This initiative marks the partnership's advancement into the technology upscaling phase, aiming to support projects that achieve cost-effective green hydrogen production, develop storage solutions, and deliver reliable fuel cell systems for heavy-duty vehicles and maritime applications. Notably, €80m is earmarked for the Hydrogen Valleys initiative to broaden hydrogen's applications and address market challenges. Valerie Bouillon-Delporte, the Executive Director, highlighted the strategic focus on advancing fuel cell technologies, enhancing hydrogen electrolysis efficiency, and fortifying Europe's hydrogen infrastructure. The call emphasizes reducing production costs, improving material durability, and ensuring safety. The deadline for proposal submissions is April 23, 2025, through the EU's Funding and Tenders portal. This funding opportunity aims to propel research and innovation for a competitive and sustainable hydrogen value chain in Europe.
