European Allocation of 25 Million Euros to Propel North Adriatic Hydrogen Infrastructure Initiative
The North Adriatic Hydrogen Valley, one of two flagship hydrogen valleys under consideration for a grant from the European Commission, has been awarded a 25 million euro ($27 million) grant. This regional ecosystem, which links hydrogen production, transportation, and various end uses, will be spread across the North Adriatic area, including Croatia, the autonomous region of Friuli Venezia Giulia in Italy, and Slovenia.
The grant agreements for this project are expected to be concluded before the summer, as announced by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership. The North Adriatic Hydrogen Valley is an initiative to accelerate the deployment of hydrogen technologies and is part of a larger initiative to build hydrogen corridors across multiple countries.
The North Adriatic Hydrogen Valley project, led by HSE, is in negotiations with the European Commission for this significant funding. The project aims to link hydrogen production, transportation, and various end uses such as mobility or industrial feedstock. The Clean Hydrogen Partnership, which supports research and innovation activities in hydrogen technologies in Europe under the Horizon Europe Programme, did not specify the exact amount of the grant for each of the two flagship hydrogen valleys.
The second flagship hydrogen valley aims to build a hydrogen corridor across Baltic Sea countries, including Estonia and South Finland. The Clean Hydrogen Partnership has started the grant preparations for both projects. The Baltic Sea hydrogen corridor project is the other flagship hydrogen valley under consideration for a grant.
The North Adriatic Hydrogen Valley is supported by the governments of Croatia, Slovenia, and the local authorities of Friuli Venezia Giulia. The Clean Hydrogen Partnership did not provide further details about the specific goals or objectives of these hydrogen valley projects. However, it is clear that these projects are a significant step towards a more sustainable and hydrogen-powered future for Europe.
