Imagine trying to buy a hydrogen car, but there are no charging stations and no one knows how to fix them. This project creates 'living labs' in cities to test everything from buses to waste trucks all at once. It's like building a starter kit for cities to switch from gas to hydrogen without guessing where to start.
Cities struggle to adopt hydrogen because of a 'circular conundrum': high costs and no infrastructure lead to low demand, which in turn prevents infrastructure investment.
A replicable roadmap for local authorities to integrate hydrogen into net-zero strategies and the design of Hydrogen Living Labs.
If you are a transit authority dealing with high carbon emissions from heavy fleets — this project developed a replicable roadmap that helps integrate hydrogen buses into existing net-zero strategies.
If you are a sanitation service dealing with hard-to-abate heavy vehicle emissions — this project tested hydrogen waste trucks in real-world city settings to de-risk the investment in new fleets.
If you are a logistics company dealing with the lack of refueling infrastructure — this project focused on shared infrastructure to provide economies of scale for hydrogen logistics trucks.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not provided, but the project aimed to lower high production costs by creating shared infrastructure to provide economies of scale.
The project intended to create a replicable roadmap for local authorities, though the project was terminated early, limiting the scale of the final results.
Based on available project data, there is no mention of specific patents, but the project focused on an open partnership model to drive marketed innovation.
It provides a roadmap for local authorities to add hydrogen into their existing Net Zero Strategies, specifically for hard-to-abate transport sectors.
The project period was set from 2023-01-01 to 2025-10-31, although it was terminated early.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with a 71% industry ratio, consisting of 7 partners across 6 countries. Notably, 4 of these are SMEs, indicating a strong focus on agile, small-scale innovators rather than academic research, as there are 0 universities and 0 research institutes involved.
