Imagine replacing dirty fossil fuels with a clean energy system that works like a giant battery for a whole city. This project builds a local network to make, store, and move green hydrogen to power heavy trucks and factories. It's like creating a new 'green gas station' network that doesn't pollute the air.
Industries and transport fleets rely on 'grey' hydrogen from fossil fuels, which prevents full decarbonization. There is a lack of integrated local production and distribution infrastructure to make green hydrogen commercially viable.
A full-chain green hydrogen ecosystem including production, storage, and distribution. It includes a Digital Twin for operational planning and a roadmap for replication in Central and Eastern Europe.
If you are a municipal bus operator dealing with high carbon emissions from diesel fleets — this project developed a full-chain hydrogen supply system that enables the use of FCH buses. This allows for a transition to zero-emission public transport using locally produced green hydrogen.
If you are a metal or glass manufacturer dealing with the need to decarbonize heat-intensive processes — this project developed an integrated ecosystem that delivers certified green hydrogen. This supports the goal of fully decarbonizing the industrial sector before 2030.
If you are a fleet manager dealing with urban emission regulations — this project developed a distribution and storage network for green hydrogen. This provides a viable fuel alternative for light industrial vehicles to reduce operational footprints.
The project is designed to produce 650 tons of green hydrogen per year.
The project generates various investments exceeding 38M€.
Based on available project data, specific IP or licensing terms are not detailed, but the project focuses on defining business models and commercial negotiations.
The project aligns with the Luxembourg Hydrogen Strategy to fully decarbonize the industrial sector before 2030.
Digital Twinning is used for optimal planning and operation to support upscaling and replication in other regions.
The consortium is heavily industry-weighted with 10 industrial partners (50% of the group), including 3 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, combined with 5 universities and 3 research centers across 7 countries, indicates a high focus on commercial viability and practical deployment rather than pure academic research.
