Safe hydrogen injection management at network-wide level: towards European gas sector transition
The 'Safe Hydrogen Injection Management' program, under the Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, aims to facilitate the safe and widespread integration of hydrogen into existing European gas networks. This initiative addresses critical challenges in managing hydrogen injection, ensuring network integrity and end-user safety. The program seeks to drive the European gas sector's transition towards a multi-gas energy system.
Who is Funded for Hydrogen Gas Network Transition
The Clean Hydrogen JU program targets a broad range of entities across Europe and associated countries, focusing on the critical objective of safely integrating hydrogen into existing gas infrastructure. The program's core goal is to enable a widespread transition of the European gas sector towards cleaner energy sources by developing robust, interoperable, and safe multi-gas network management solutions.
What is Funded in Hydrogen Gas Network Research
This program specifically funds projects that advance the safe and efficient integration of hydrogen into gas networks, covering a range of technical and engineering disciplines. Supported activities include the development of predictive modeling tools, key quality tracking technologies, and the analysis of infrastructure component behavior with hydrogen. Projects typically span from early-stage research to advanced experimental development and prototyping, ensuring solutions are brought closer to market readiness.
Type and Scope of Hydrogen Funding
The financial support for this program is provided as grants, with a specified maximum contribution per project to ensure efficient allocation of funds towards achieving the program's objectives. While no explicit project duration is stated, projects are expected to advance technology readiness levels significantly.
Conditions and Requirements for Hydrogen Initiatives
Applicants must adhere to specific conditions for application and project implementation, including compliance with Horizon Europe general annexes and particular IPR obligations related to standardisation. Budget restrictions, notably a maximum contribution limit, apply to ensure targeted funding.
Application Procedure for Hydrogen Funding
The application process for this program follows a single-stage submission procedure through the European Commission's Funding & Tenders Portal. Evaluations are based on established criteria, with results communicated following a defined timeline.
Legal Basis of the Hydrogen Program
The program is founded on key European legal acts and regulations, ensuring its legitimacy and guiding its operational framework. Access to these foundational documents and related guidelines is provided through various official EU portals and publications, promoting transparency and clarity for all participants.
