Hydrogen Knowledge Centre

Project description

The strategic objective of this project is to set up an H2 sustainable technology knowledge centre as a benchmark reference in training, research, transfer and outreach activities, and to support the needs arising in the Basque Hydrogen Corridor (BH2C) ) and the demands of business and industry engaged in it.

The knowledge centre has also set itself several other objectives, e.g. in the socio-economic field, to contribute to the generation of a new industrial fabric based on sustainable H2 technologies; with respect to education, to train technicians in hydrogen technologies for vocational training and university courses, for researchers and for business professionals; in the field of research, to act as a driver in the creation, coordination and transfer of technological knowledge in the field of hydrogen and its associated technologies; and with regard to outreach and awareness, to provide information and knowledge of the most relevant aspects in the use of technologies and services associated with the use of hydrogen.

Impacto medioambiental

1. To contribute to the creation of a new industrial fabric based on sustainable H2 technologies across the entire value chain, from generation to end-use applications, at industrial, mobility and urban/residential levels.

2. To promote and raise awareness of the use of H2 in different industrial sectors, in the field of mobility and in urban environments, encouraging forums, outreach campaigns and networking opportunities for the exchange of best practice in the use of hydrogen.

3. To support the development of an ecosystem for the production of H2 using clean energies such as photovoltaic, wind or hydro, with the aim of decarbonising emissions in production processes and in the field of mobility.
