North Adriatic Hydrogen Valley (NAHV): A Catalyst for Regional Hydrogen Growth

por

The NAHV Testbeds Catalogue provides a comprehensive overview of the industrial initiatives driving the North Adriatic Hydrogen Valley (NAHV), a Horizon Europe project co-funded by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership.

NAHV’s Vision and Goals

As a public document, the catalogue aims to inform stakeholders about the nature, background, and implementation timeframe of the NAHV testbed projects. The NAHV Consortium, comprised of 37 partners, seeks to engage with interested parties and create opportunities for collaboration.

The NAHV project, established in 2021, is a collaborative effort between Slovenia, Croatia, and Italy’s Friuli Venezia Giulia Autonomous Region. It aligns with the European Green Deal and Hydrogen Strategy, aiming to create a hydrogen-based economic and social ecosystem.

Key Objectives and Achievements

  • Testbed Development: The NAHV project focuses on developing 17 testbeds covering the entire hydrogen value chain, from production to distribution, storage, and end-use applications.
  • Regional Integration: The project aims to connect industrial clusters, ports, and hydrogen valleys across Europe, enhancing the local hydrogen ecosystem and fostering inter-regional value chains.
  • Quadruple Helix Approach: NAHV employs a collaborative approach involving academia, industry, government, and the general public to drive economic growth and job creation.
  • Cross-Border Collaboration: As the first transnational hydrogen valley in the EU, NAHV demonstrates successful cross-border cooperation and integration.
  • Hydrogen Production: The project targets an annual hydrogen production of over 5,000 tons, with at least 20% exchanged within the NAHV region.
  • Replicability: NAHV aims to serve as a model for other regions in Europe, particularly in Central and Southeastern Europe.

The NAHV Testbeds Catalogue

This valuable resource provides detailed information about the testbed projects, their objectives, and the expected outcomes. It serves as a gateway for potential stakeholders to learn more about the opportunities and benefits of participating in the NAHV initiative.

The North Adriatic Hydrogen Valley project is a significant step towards realizing a hydrogen-powered future. By showcasing the innovative initiatives and collaboration opportunities within the region, the NAHV Testbeds Catalogue encourages engagement and participation from interested stakeholders.

EU Hydrogen Valley Days foster collaboration and highlight funding opportunities

por

Over 150 participants gathered for a productive day of discussions at the EU Hydrogen Valley Days, focusing on policy context and fostering collaboration within the European hydrogen valley community.

The opening session provided valuable insights into the policy landscape. Notably, 74 out of the 98 hydrogen valleys included in the Mission Innovation Hydrogen Valley Platform are European, highlighting the continent’s strong presence in this innovative sector.

A key takeaway from the day was the importance of maintaining communication and knowledge exchange among hydrogen valleys. This collaboration is crucial for fostering learning, accessing public funding, and ultimately accelerating the development of hydrogen technology.

Organizers expressed their gratitude to the day’s speakers and looked forward to the second day’s agenda, which will delve into financing, startups, the role of European industry, and the skills needed for a successful hydrogen future.

Day Two: Funding Opportunities and Industry Collaboration Take Center Stage

The EU Hydrogen Valley Days concluded with over 200 attendees actively participating in sessions shaping the future of European hydrogen valleys.

Key learnings from the second day focused on financing opportunities:

  • Matching Needs: While numerous funding opportunities exist, ensuring a good match between buyers and producers and increased flexibility in funding structures are crucial elements.
  • Investor Priorities: Investors expressed a preference for working with demonstrators, large-scale projects, and ventures with clear business viability for their initial investments.
  • Hydrogen Valleys: A Matchmaking Platform: Hydrogen valleys were identified as excellent platforms for connecting stakeholders and fostering collaboration.

The session on financing showcased experiences from hydrogen valleys across Europe, including Pays de la Loire, Groningen, Castilla-La Mancha, and North-West Germany. Discussions highlighted key challenges and suggestions, including:

  • Addressing Local Renewable Energy Shortfalls
  • Navigating Regulatory Issues
  • Leveraging Past Industry Experiences
  • Introducing Flexibility in European Funding to Attract Private Investors

The successful EU Hydrogen Valley Days, co-organised by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and the European Commission – DG Research and Innovation, provided a valuable platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration building, and identifying opportunities for advancing the development of European hydrogen valleys. The insights gained will undoubtedly play a vital role in shaping a sustainable and hydrogen-powered future.
