Clean Hydrogen Partnership announces 2024 winners at Hydrogen Valleys call

The Clean Hydrogen Partnership recently published the results of its 2024 funding call for Hydrogen Valleys, with a notable increase in allocated funding.

The results reveal that one large-scale and one small-scale project have been approved and proposed for funding. Additionally, three large-scale and three small-scale projects have been approved and placed on the reserve list.

The total funding for these projects amounts to €113.3 million, marking an increase from the €105.4 million allocated during the 2022 call. This rise in funding reflects the growing commitment to advancing hydrogen technologies and infrastructure across Europe, as part of the broader push towards sustainable energy solutions.

Among the funded projects, the Hydrogen Valley in Poland, led by ORLEN, stands out. The project, which aims to establish a comprehensive hydrogen infrastructure in the country, has successfully secured EU funding under this call.

ORLEN's initiative is a significant step forward in Poland's energy transition, aligning with the EU's broader goals of reducing carbon emissions and promoting clean energy across the continent. The project will focus on developing hydrogen production, distribution, and utilization networks, further solidifying Poland's role in the emerging hydrogen economy .
