Summary
The scope of this topic is to develop, deploy and demonstrate a hydrogen valley having the aim to increase in size and characteristics overtime. Particular attention is given to actions supporting the design and development of a Hydrogen Valley in areas of Europe with no or limited presence of Hydrogen Valleys such as, but not necessarily limited to, Central and Eastern European Countries.
Detailed Call Description
A Hydrogen Valley is covering a defined geographical area in which hydrogen serves in general more than one end user or application in mobility, industry and energy. They typically comprise a substantial financial investment and cover as much as possible the necessary steps in the hydrogen value chain, from production (and often even dedicated renewable electricity production) to subsequent storage and its transport & distribution to various off-takers. Hydrogen Valleys are starting to form regional “hydrogen economies”. Such projects are necessary for piloting global hydrogen markets and should be expanded in number or scale to demonstrate the full range of benefits from the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier.

Eligibility For Participation Notes
At least one partner in the consortium must be a member of either Hydrogen Europe or Hydrogen Europe Research.
A number of non-EU/non-Associated Countries that are not automatically eligible for funding have made specific provisions for making funding available for their participants in Horizon Europe projects. See the information in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide.
For some topics, in line with the Clean Hydrogen JU SRIA, an additional eligibility criterion has been introduced to ensure that one partner in the consortium is a member of either Hydrogen Europe or Hydrogen Europe Research. This concerns topics targeting actions for large-scale demonstrations, flagship projects and strategic research actions, where the industrial and research partners of the Clean Hydrogen JU are considered to play a key role in accelerating the commercialisation of hydrogen technologies by being closely linked to the Clean Hydrogen JU constituency.
