Project overview

Hydrogen integration for efficient renewable energy systems

Sector-coupling is a promising approach to replace fossil fuels with renewables. However, this idea of “electrifying” the entire economy requires the rollout of new technologies and rules. The HyEfRe project helps with this by establishing green hydrogen ecosystems in eight regions. The partners foster an investment-friendly environment for renewable energy and green hydrogen technologies. They evaluate hydrogen potentials with a new model and develop and test a new tool to calculate ideal parameters for technical plants. Their action plan for policy actors will reduce regulatory barriers impeding a timely expansion of renewables and green hydrogen.

About the project

HyEfRe will counteract challenges related to low integration and balancing of fluctuating renewable energy sources (wind and photovoltaic), suboptimal energy efficiency and lack of carbon-neutrality in CE energy systems, resulting in high energy prices and climate change. The project will lead to the establishment of hydrogen ecosystems in the participating regions, supporting uptake of solutions and strategies, considering all stakeholders. Our consortium consists of research institutes, energy/regional development agencies and SMEs experienced in renewable energy and hydrogen integration, modelling, optimization & IT, legal/economic assessment and stakeholder engagement. HyEfRe will advance the timely energy transition towards carbon-neutrality and result in decentralized new jobs, increasing prosperity and ensuring Europe's leading role in the renewable energy sector.
