15 Hydrogen valleys selected for PDA in H2V facility’s first successful call

November 2025

A total of 15 Hydrogen Valleys have been chosen to receive Project Development Assistance (PDA), following a successful first call from the H2V Facility, led by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership. This selection not only highlights the potential of these regional projects but also underscores the crucial role of technical assistance in consolidating the European hydrogen ecosystem.

The PDA is a dedicated tool designed to bridge expertise gaps in the early development phase. The selected Hydrogen Valleys, now backed by expert support in planning and execution, will significantly enhance their attractiveness to investors and financial institutions.

This achievement is a strategic step. By prioritizing assistance for 15 Valleys, the CHP is building a network of robust projects that will serve as reference models for future initiatives across Europe. The H2V Facility thus demonstrates its commitment to standardization and professionalization within the sector.

Key milestones:

  • Secured Funding: Improved bankability of projects.
  • Expert Assistance: Support in legal, technical, and financial aspects.
  • Risk Reduction: Accelerated deployment of hydrogen across the continent.
