Hydrogen industry

Le projet « INTERESTS » ou « INTE grated R enewable E nergy power ST ationS » vise l’intégration mixte d’une exploitation « domestique » (véhicules/ « pompes » / « car pooling/sharing ») et d’une exploitation « industrielle » (production et écoulement H2 , flexibilité par rapport au réseau) de cette électricité « locale ».

The obstacles to achieving carbon neutrality in heavy-duty vehicles are becoming more evident. While there is potential for further efficiency enhancements in diesel trucks, or adopting alternative fuels like biofuels and natural gas, a genuinely emission-free option—alongside low-carbon energy sources upstream—is essential for reaching ambitious long-term CO2 reduction targets.

BE-HyFE is a Belgian academic collaboration project, funded by the federal Energy Transition Fund, bringing together all Belgian knowledge institutes to join forces in fundamental research on the topic of hydrogen.

Long-life materials for hydrogen-air PEM fuel cells.

H2WIN développe l'énergie propre de demain à partir de l'eau et du soleil en s'inspirant de la photosynthèse. La greentech belge H2WIN, pionnière dans le développement d'un nouveau vecteur énergétique écologique décarboné, a mis au point H2GREEN, un procédé révolutionnaire de production d'hydrogène solaire et d'électricité verte qui s'inspire du principe de la photosynthèse.

Acteur mondial de la transition énergétique, John Cockerill Energy participe au projet H2GridLab (Hydrogen to Grid National Living Lab) initié par Sibelga, le gestionnaire des réseaux d’électricité et de gaz de Bruxelles-capitale (Belgique). Le but est de développer un pilote « Power to Gas » à base d’hydrogène vert.

TeacHy stands for Teaching Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Science and Engineering Across Europe Whithin Horizion 2020 and in support of the training of future specialists in hydrogen economics : TeacHy - a collaboration model between ICSIRM Valcea (National Research and Development Institute for cryogenic and Isotopic Technologies) and UPB.

Project HYPOP, HYdrogen Public Opinion and accePtance, will support the hydrogen deployment in Europe, enhancing the involvement of citizens and providing guidelines to increase trust in hydrogen implementation. A clean and clear communication will be key for hydrogen technological development with social acceptance.

The aim of our project is to promote the development of the clean hydrogen sector by reducing the obstacles to the European recognition of skills and related systems through joint action plans and by promoting careers that can contribute to the energy transition through new practical training schemes.

WaterstofNet and Tweed have both been coordinating their regional hydrogen clusters in Flanders and Wallonia respectively for several years and ointly established a national hydrogen council that aims to transcend the various political levels in our country.
