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

por

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.

Clean Hydrogen Partnership launches H2V Knowledge Centre to accelerate hydrogen valleys

por

The European strategy for creating Hydrogen Valleys has received a significant boost with the introduction of the H2V Knowledge Centre by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership (CHP). This online knowledge hub is the missing piece needed to create operational synergy between existing and upcoming projects.

This repository is a sister initiative to the Project Development Assistance (PDA), managed by prestigious consortia such as Roland Berger and Worley. The information contained in the H2V Knowledge Centre—from business models and regulatory frameworks to detailed case studies—is curated to maximize the effectiveness of the technical assistance provided by the PDAs. The goal is clear: to standardize and professionalize the execution of the Valleys.

What Will You Find in the Knowledge Centre?

The H2V Knowledge Centre is structured to be the reference source for project developers, investors, and policymakers, ensuring that decisions are based on validated data and real-world hydrogen industry experience.

The Clean Hydrogen Partnership is intensifying efforts to support the development of clean hydrogen economies across Europe, building on nearly a decade of collaboration with regional stakeholders. Following a call for expressions of interest last year, 10 new regions have joined the initiative, signaling a strong commitment to advancing the hydrogen transition.

At the recent forum, six new memoranda of cooperation were signed with regions including Castilla y León (Spain), North-Holland (The Netherlands), Košice Region (Slovakia), Wielkopolska (Poland), the Médio Tejo Intermunicipal Community (Portugal), and Slovenia’s National Managing Authority. These agreements, tailored to regional needs, aim to foster capacity building, knowledge sharing, and industrial synergies to strengthen the hydrogen valley network.

Valerie Bouillon-Delporte, a representative of the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, highlighted the ambition to double the number of hydrogen valleys by 2025 as part of the REPowerEU Plan. «Sixteen valleys are already funded, with six more to be added this year,» she noted, emphasizing their role as strategic pillars for innovation and energy transition.

Looking ahead, the Clean Hydrogen Knowledge Hub will serve as a critical resource, offering automated data analysis and reporting to facilitate informed decision-making and collaboration among industry and regional partners.

Regions aspiring to develop hydrogen valleys are encouraged to connect with the Mission Innovation Hydrogen Valley Platform, which offers insights into cutting-edge technologies, funding opportunities, and success factors from hydrogen initiatives worldwide. This enhanced collaboration underscores the transformative potential of hydrogen valleys in driving Europe’s clean energy future.
