H2CE

The H2CE project helps regions in central Europe to boost the integration of hydrogen in their local and regional energy planning. The project develops and tests new planning tools for public authorities and creates a network of hydrogen-ready regions for good practice exchanges. H2CE aims at empowering public authorities and administration in Central Europe (CE) to integrate hydrogen proactively and sustainably into regional planning and development. This will lead to an acceleration of hydrogen infrastructure ramp-up and a more efficient use of available funds. The main results of the project will be mechanisms to empower regional decision makers to support a hydrogen-based energy transition, the initiation of a cross-regional & transnational network of H2-ready regions, and the implementation of a digital collaboration platform.
