Project description
From promising research to real-world deployment
Rising concerns over climate change have underscored the need to transition towards sustainable energy solutions. However, despite significant advancements in research and innovation, many promising projects struggle to move from the laboratory to real-world application due to funding barriers. The EU-funded H2IF project aims to bridge the gap. By leveraging the Horizon 2020 programme and the EU Emissions Trading System Innovation Fund, H2IF strives to propel mature projects towards the deployment phase. This initiative seeks to validate the effectiveness of connecting research and innovation initiatives with funding opportunities for hydrogen and energy storage projects. Three projects, selected for their climate neutrality potential and innovation, will be scaled up and submitted to the Innovation Fund.
Objective
The aim of this proposal is to promote and facilitate technologically, financially, and operationally mature projects from Horizon 2020 to reach deployment phase by means of developing synergies with the ETS Innovation Fund.
The overall objective of H2IF is to validate such connection could be effective between promising Horizon funded R&I results and Innovation Fund for hydrogen and energy storage projects. This proof of concept will be made thanks to the scaling-up and submission of 3 projects to the Innovation Fund instrument, all of them having been selected due to their high ‘climate neutrality’ potential, their innovation degree, while already being supported by Horizon 2020.
