Linking hydrogen power potentials

Fit for 55 targets and geopolitical challenges brought LIHYP together. The EC Hydrogen strategy aims at 40GW of renewable hydrogen by 2030. Although H2 technologies are close to the market, there is no infrastructure for the use of green H2 (e.g. in the transport sector) in the NSR. There is hardly any data on demand, production capacity of H2 now and in the future. Supply infrastructures are missing, EU H2 regulations are in force but lack of harmonisation on regional levels and so impair system integration for supply and standards. Inter(regional) databased pathways to fit for 55 targets miss; SME are poorly connectet to H2 economy. Without databased transnational coordinated strategies and action plans, managing production, shortages, surpluses upscaling H2 deployment is impossible. A joined approach for H2 deployment in regional H2 applications based on interregional databased roadmaps feeded by actual infrastructure related pilots data enables and upscales H2 developments to meet Fit for 55 targets. Following and committing to roadmaps, that will give relevant mangement information, will support decision making for SMES, municipalities, counties, governments, universities educational institutes. LIHYP will realise: A NSR H2 platform-marketplace linking H2 relevant stakeholders. Data mining for demand, production and supply of H2 from now till 2030. Steps towards managing shortages and surpluses of H2 production. Steps to system integration for H2 infrastructures, harmonisation and standardization. Promote incentivs for H2, contribute to level playing field with fossil fuels. Commit LIHYP partners and her associates (about 2000 SMES) to Fit-for-55 targets by drawing up and communicate local-regional-NSR (H2) roadmaps/strategy plans till 2030, based on predictive data analysis. Entrepreneurs, investors and public authorities using roadmaps for business modelling to plan NSR investments and capacities. H2 demonstrators to learn from, showcase and promote H2 applications. Overall Objective: LIHYP brings Hydrogen demand-supply and stakeholders together and raises potential for future aligned collaboration. The project initiates opportunities to accelerate market introduction of hydrogen applications, leading to regional H2 value chains connected in the North Sea Region.
