The European Union has issued a new tender titled “Development of Hydrogen Infrastructure and Fuel Technologies” on May 28, 2024, with a submission deadline of June 26, 2024.

This tender is seen as a significant step in advancing the hydrogen industry, a critical component of Europe’s green energy transition.

The primary objective of this tender is to support the establishment of a robust hydrogen infrastructure and promote innovative fuel technologies. The EU is seeking proposals from qualified stakeholders to develop and implement projects that will enhance hydrogen production, storage, and distribution networks across member states. These initiatives are essential for making hydrogen a viable and competitive energy source, thereby reducing carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.

Applicants must demonstrate expertise in hydrogen technology and present comprehensive plans that include technical, financial, and environmental considerations. Projects must align with the EU’s sustainability goals and demonstrate potential for scalability and long-term impact. Key technical requirements include capabilities in hydrogen production through electrolysis, efficient storage solutions, and the development of hydrogen refueling stations.
