Applications now open for the selection of cities to be H2Cities beneficiaries and demonstrators.
Hydrogen adoption has been plagued by a circular conundrum: high production cost, low demand, no infrastructure, and cities lacking knowledge, relations, and capacity to adapt to hydrogen. In response, the H2CITIES project, funded by the EIT, will create Hydrogen Living Labs in two cities.
The final objective of H2CITIES is to support the transition to H2 in cities for clean transport and accessibility of all citizens. This is the first step of a complex and multi-step transition that will culminate when fully clean/green H2 is used.
Each H2City selected will benefit from up to five types of hydrogen vehicles on their streets from among buses, waste trucks, shuttles, lightweight public services, private cars, and logistics trucks. The Candidate Cities will also have direct funding to support their engagement and adoption. Innovators will demonstrate new products, build out supply chains, test new components and work with local community and citizens on adapting to a new hydrogen economy. H2CITIES will break the circular conundrum to build a replicable roadmap for other cities to add hydrogen into their existing Net Zero strategies.
