summary:

INNOHYP CA aims to coordinate efforts on the knowledge of hydrogen production technologies and to propose a roadmap for short-, medium- and long-term research programmes. Gathering together eight organisations implicated in various programmes on the massive production of hydrogen by high-temperature processes, the Coordinating Action INNOHYP-CA has the following objectives.

  • To create a platform for sharing and coordinating the results of the Specific Targeted Actions (STREP) in progress, as well as with national programmes and efforts in the EU Member States on high-temperature processes to start clustering the innovative ideas, recourses, and results.
  • To define the needs and propose the research activities needed in future leading up to the consolidation of industrial production, to support the roadmaping in Europe mainly being done by the HYWAYS project.
  • To offer support to the activities of the European Platform, especially the Advisory Group and the appropriate Steering Committees, and other institutional activities that could be created over the coming years to give them the necessary inputs on massive hydrogen production by high-temperature processes. This support will include the preparation of the roadmap, co-operation agreements, organisation of specific events and training. This roadmap should be completed at the end of the project while organisation of events could be proposed at any time during the project.
  • To propose the coordination of European activities at the international level, specifically with the IEA, especially in the Implementing Agreement on Hydrogen and Solar Energy (IA H2 and IA SolarPACES) and alongside the activities the signature of the International Cooperation Agreement for Hydrogen IPHE (especially ILC Implementation and liaison Committee).
