The Commission presented today the Hydrogen Public Funding Compass

The Hydrogen Public Funding Compass is an online guide to public funding sources for hydrogen projects. It is designed as a single entry point for stakeholders to access information on the most important public funding programmes and funds for renewable and low carbon hydrogen.

The funding compass is structured in two parts:

  • EU funding programmes and funds financed by the 2021 -2027 long-term EU budget and NextGenerationEU
  • National funding programmes and funds available at EU country level.

The funding compass was presented at the European Hydrogen Forum 2021, which takes place on 17-18 June.

At the forum, European Clean Hydrogen Alliance members discussed how to use hydrogen technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in industry, transport, energy and the buildings sectors and help the EU meet its climate neutrality objectives.

The EU has secured a lead in many hydrogen technologies, which now need to be rapidly and decisively rolled out and applied. In May, the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance collected almost 1,000 renewable and low-carbon projects that alliance members are planning to implement by 2030 to produce almost 9 million tonnes of mostly renewable hydrogen per year.
