The IPCEI (Important Project of Common European Interest) on Hydrogen was launched in 2020 to promote the market ramp-up of green hydrogen. In the course of this project 23 EU Member States as well as Norway collaborate to interlink European hydrogen projects and to benefit from spill-over effects at a European level. In the meantime, four IPCEI Hydrogen “waves” with 18 involved countries have been registered at the EU level. 1.4 billion EUR from the RRF support 14 of the overall 31 projects in Germany.
The German plan supports integrated hydrogen projects along the entire value chain. The measure is articulated around production, transport and storage of hydrogen, as well as on hydrogen applications (in industry and mobility). New electrolysis capability is being built to produce renewable hydrogen in locations where sufficient renewable electricity is available.
The main objective of the project is developing and industrializing a new generation of high-performance PEM fuel cell stack modules for heavy-duty applications. The high-performance stack modules are to be deployed primarily in the commercial vehicle sector, but also in buses and maritime applications, in the field of rail transportation, and in stationary systems.
