Ústí Region, Czech Republic – The Economic and Social Council of the Ústí region is excited to announce the development of a new hydrogen voucher mechanism designed to promote the use of hydrogen and support related projects within the region. This initiative involves creating a “voucher-as-a-service” system aimed at stimulating specific projects throughout the hydrogen value chain.
The Ústí region will engage a diverse range of stakeholders, including policymakers, businesses, research and educational institutions, and NGOs, to develop a comprehensive methodology for implementing these hydrogen vouchers. This collaborative approach ensures that the system will be robust and tailored to the needs of all relevant sectors.
Key features of the initiative include:
- Voucher-as-a-Service System: A novel mechanism to support hydrogen-related projects by providing financial and operational incentives.
- Quadruple Helix Engagement: Involvement of various stakeholders to ensure a holistic and effective implementation.
- Replicability: The methodology developed will be designed to be replicated in other regions, enhancing the broader hydrogen economy.
- Integration with H2CE Collaboration Platform: The voucher mechanism will be incorporated into the H2CE Collaboration Platform (WP3), leveraging its matchmaking functionality to connect with external stakeholders.
This hydrogen voucher mechanism aims to provide a practical, ready-to-use option for advancing projects within the hydrogen economy, fostering innovation and development in the Ústí region and beyond.
