The subject of this topic is the development and demonstration of a large-scale hydrogen valley. It could demonstrate a combination of technologies in either existing and/or new markets for clean hydrogen, especially when the applications are used in symbiosis with each other.

Proposals must demonstrate innovative system-level approaches: total and synergistic integration of hydrogen production (not limited to electrolysis), distribution and end-use technologies. Proposals can also explore interoperability, the cause-and-effect stability of the overall system. Technologies demonstrated should be cutting edge following technological developments previously funded by (but not limited to) the Clean Hydrogen Partnership.

Development of non-fluorinated components for fuel cells and electrolysers

Closed

Code: 32472 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-JTI-CLEANH2-2024-05-02 | Programme name: 27323 | Start submission calls: 18/01/2024 | End submission calls: 17/04/2024

The scope of this topic is limited to proton exchange membrane (PEM-based) fuel cells (PEMFCs) and/or electrolysers (PEMELs) because other hydrogen fuel cell and electrolyser technologies, e.g., high temperature solid oxide or proton conducting ceramics, and low temperature anion exchange membrane technologies typically do not incorporate PFAS in their materials components.

More specifically, the proposed project should focus on the development of non-fluorinated ionomers, both membrane and catalyst layer ionomer, as well as non-fluorinated membrane reinforcement materials to replace ePTFE-based membrane reinforcements.

Improved characterisation, prediction and optimisation of flame stabilisation in high-pressure premixed hydrogen combustion at gas-turbine conditions (RIA)

Code: 32470 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-JTI-CLEANH2-2024-04-02 | Programme name: 27323 | Start submission calls: 18/01/2024 | End submission calls: 17/04/2024

The research scope involves acquisition of fundamental knowledge, development of modelling and analytical tools, optimisation of advanced fuel injection concepts and/or combustion staging strategies to increase the robustness of operation and the fuel flexibility of gas turbines, while conserving their cycle efficiency and emissions performance.

It is of crucial importance to seek the widest generality and applicability of the results. This objective can be conveniently pursued by the adoption of canonical turbulent premixed flames configurations (e.g. Bunsen, bluff-body, transverse jets or swirl-stabilised) for the proposed work.

Demonstration and deployment of multi-purpose Hydrogen Refuelling Stations combining road and airport, railway, and/or harbour applications (IA)

Closed

Code: 32460 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-JTI-CLEANH2-2024-02-05 | Programme name: 27323 | Start submission calls: 18/01/2024 | End submission calls: 17/04/2024

It is fundamental to develop and optimise HRS – Hydrogen Refuelling Stations (especially for trains, marine and airport applications), situated on depots, with corresponding captive demand for large-scale hydrogen. This concept assumes the provision of pressurised gaseous and/or liquid hydrogen together with the development of appropriate and reliable systems for lifetime prediction. Combining multi-mobility ecosystems (railway, maritime and airports) within the same HRS may reduce refuelling costs and supply chain costs.
The aim of this topic is to demonstrate a multipurpose HRS able to supply a combination of aviation, rail and/or heavy-duty road applications.
