H2INTEGRA: the development of technological solutions for the optimal integration of hydrogen logistics with end uses.

Project description

Hydrogen has been identified by both European and international organizations as a crucial component of the energy transition towards a greenhouse gas-neutral economy. Consequently, forecasts point to the development of a European and global hydrogen market, linked to its role in enabling renewable electricity technologies to be integrated into the energy system. This scenario will bring opportunities across the entire hydrogen value chain, including production, integration with renewable generation plants, storage, transport, distribution and consumption. The Basque Country and its industrial fabric must therefore take up a strategic position which enables it to take full advantage of the energy, environmental and industrial and technological development opportunities.

The starting point and base line of the H2INTEGRA project is the infrastructure of Petronor set up to produce hydrogen. Similarly, the main objective of the project is to research into physical and digital solutions to advance in the creation of a hydrogen ecosystem for the optimal connection and management of hydrogen production, distribution and end use.
