Deadline: 31-Oct-22
The Nordic Energy Research is pleased to announce a call for proposals for the Joint Nordic Hydrogen Research Programme with the theme of “Nordic hydrogen valleys as energy hubs – by 2030 and 2040”.
The programme will promote green growth in the Nordic region based on knowledge, innovation, mobility and digital integration, in line with the Nordic Council of Minister’s vision of a green and competitive Nordic region.
The research programme will be organized with a theme considered to provide common interest for all Nordic countries intended to complement rather than duplicate national R&D programmes. This Nordic collaboration should create outcomes and impact of greater value for the countries involved than could be achieved through national activities alone.
Thematic Scope
- Demonstrate the use of hydrogen, ammonia and electrofuels in the wider energy systems. For example; in ports, within transportation and industry.
- Topics may also include a link to sector coupling, such as district heating or industrial processes that support the position of hydrogen valleys as energy hubs.
- Projects should assess technological, safety and socio-economical barriers for a hydrogen, ammonia and e-fuel based transition in, for example; harbour operations, including fuelling of vessels and transportation and logistics-related services.
- Projects should identify and outline ambitious pathways towards 2030 and 2040 hydrogen value chains and infrastructure in energy hubs.
- Deliver tangible outputs at clearly defined milestones and adjust for emerging shifts and technological breakthroughs.
