On 19 July 2023, the European Commission published a call for evidence to collect input for a European roadmap for Hydrogen Valleys.

The creation of a roadmap was announced during the ERRIN Energy and Climate Change Working Group meeting dedicated to developments on Hydrogen policy (16 February 2023). This roadmap will outline the strategic priorities and actions needed to reach the REPowerEU objective of doubling the number of Hydrogen Valleys in the EU by 2025.

If you wish to submit your individual input, the call for evidence is accessible here. The associated questionnaire (on EU Survey) is accessible here.

The deadline was extended and it will now be open until 5 September 2023 (at midnight, Brussels time).

Our ERRIN Energy and Climate Change and Policy Working Groups are currently working on an input paper, building on the work of the S3 Partnership on Hydrogen Valleys.
A dedicated survey was also launched in June to collect ERRIN’s members’ needs, challenges and solutions in hydrogen-related topics.
After receiving 22 answers to this survey, we are now building a document to advocate for a stronger role of regional and local authorities in the development of Hydrogen policies and strategies, including Hydrogen Valleys.
