The notion of using hydrogen as a means to power everything from factories to your car may sound a bit futuristic but actually it has been around since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution – hydrogen powered the first internal combustion engine and has since become an integral component in the modern refining industry, as reported by the International Energy Agency (IEA). Many countries around the world, including here in Europe, are increasingly supporting initiatives and policies to scale up hydrogen technologies and embed them deeper into our energy and transport systems.

EU project MEDICINE has examined concepts of illness, health and healing in indigenous Quichua people in the northern highlands of Ecuador. The study offers a new perspective on development of policies sensitive to the health needs of minorities.

The CH2P project brings about a new technology for hydrogen refuelling stations, capable of cogenerating hydrogen, heat and electricity from natural gas and biomethane. The device combines high efficiencies with low environmental impact and high hydrogen purity.
