First Clean Hydrogen Partnership calls in Horizon Europe

The Clean Hydrogen Partnership have published their first call for proposals under Horizon Europe. €300 million will be made available to boost the development of cutting-edge hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.

There are a total of 41 topics, including 10 for renewable hydrogen production, 11 for hydrogen storage and distribution, 8 for transport, 4 for heat and power, 5 supporting cross-cutting issues, 2 Hydrogen Valleys, and 1 strategic research challenge.

The topics are split into 10 Innovation Actions (IA), 29 Research and Innovation Actions (RIA) and 2 Coordination and Support Action (CSA). 6 IAs considered of strategic importance are selected as Flagship projects.

All calls are single-stage with deadlines on either 31 May or 20 September 2022:
