A widespread implementation of hydrogen in economic practice is one of the main drivers of the energy transition process towards a decarbonised Europe. Hydrogen can be used as an energy feedstock, carrier or energy storage. Its application is characterised by zero CO2 emissions so its use in industry, transport or energy sectors can have environmentally positive consequences.
Securing funding for hydrogen-related projects at various development stages is an important factor in achieving the EC’s European Green Deal climate-neutrality goal (55% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 and zero CO2 emissions by 2050). The relevance of hydrogen technologies is recognised in both EU and national strategic documents. It is reflected in the Polish Hydrogen Strategy 2030 which provides, among other things, for constructing low-emission hydrogen production facilities with a total installed capacity of 2GW, establishing a minimum of 32 hydrogen stations, and commissioning at least 800 hydrogen-powered buses.
European Funds for a Modern Economy (FENG)
Projects involving researching and developing innovative solutions in the field of hydrogen technologies may apply for funding under the SMART path. Funding is available for enterprises (large, SMEs) as well as consortia (including consortia involving research institutions). The maximum funding for an R&D project can reach up to EUR 20 million.
Horizon Europe
Funding from the Horizon Europe programme (managed directly at the European Commission level) is awarded to international research projects focusing on developing breakthrough solutions, including solutions in the field of hydrogen technologies, that are at the early stages of development. The maximum level of funding for Research and Innovation Actions reaches up to 100% of eligible costs.
Innovation Fund
Projects involving large-scale hydrogen technology demonstrations that contribute to significant reduction in GHG emissions can apply for grants from the Innovation Fund. Depending on project size, calls are held to support small-scale projects (up to EUR 7.5 million in eligible costs) and large-scale projects (over EUR 7.5 million in eligible costs).
Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) Energy
The Connecting Europe Facility is a key EU program that funds European infrastructure investments e.g. in the field of energy. With a total budget of EUR 5.84 billion, CEF Energy (CEF-E) supports the implementation of the Trans-European Networks for Energy (TEN-E) Regulation. CEF-E funding can be awarded to hydrogen projects that obtain the PCI (Projects of Common Interest) status as well as cross-border renewable energy projects that are included in the list of CB-RES projects.
Funding for a RES company
Approximately PLN 50 million in funding for implementing an innovative technology for the production of photovoltaic panels.
Funding for a small-scale project in the green hydrogen production sector
Construction of a green hydrogen production facility for the transport industry.
Funding for a company from the steel sector
Demonstrating innovative technologies permitting steel production using hydrogen energy.
