General information
- Short Summary
- An award-winning Spanish start-up specializing in green H2 is seeking to participate in a European consortium for one of the topics (HORIZON-JU-CLEANH2-2025-03-01) of the 2025 Clean Hydrogen Partnership call, to develop and test hydrogen storage, last mile distribution and plug and play refueling capsules for mobility and logistics applications.
- Full Description
-
In the rapidly evolving domain of renewable energy, a groundbreaking project by an innovative team seeks to address the pivotal challenge of green hydrogen storage, distribution, and supply. The technology offered by the company is set within the broader context of the Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, specifically within the HORIZON-JU-CLEANH2-2025 Call, which aims to address key challenges in the transition to sustainable energy and the adoption of hydrogen as a fundamental solution to reducing carbon emissions.
This company focuses on testing an innovative green hydrogen storage, supply and consumption technology in niches where batteries do not offer a scalable solution: urban mobility, logistics environments (ports and airports), maintenance vehicles, and other Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM). The specific topic of the call to be addressed is the following: Configurable Fuel Cell Powertrain for Non-Road Mobile Machinery.
Currently, we are developing a hybrid fuel cell system for a logistics vehicle and a refrigerated container semi-trailer, with the expected outcome of reaching TRL 7. Funded by the “Innovación Ciudad de Valencia” program, the previous project seeks to implement a green hydrogen plan for sustainable mobility and logistics in Valencia, contributing to emissions reduction. Fundación ValenciaPort selected our company through its OpenTop program as the best startup for carbon neutrality goals in 2030.
In this topic (HORIZON-JU-CLEANH2-2025-03-01), we plan the development of plug-and-play pressurized hydrogen capsules. These capsules are designed to revolutionize the current hydrogen supply chain by offering a rapid supply, as well as a scalable, efficient, and cost-effective solution for hydrogen storage and last-mile distribution. The initiative not only promises to enhance the viability of green hydrogen as a key player in the energy sector but also paves the way for its widespread adoption across various industries.
This call is included in the Horizon Europe Programme (2021-2027), which provides the ideal framework for driving innovation, supporting the development and deployment of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, and fostering collaboration across European industries to achieve a sustainable, green transition. By leveraging the programme’s support, the project aims to increase the adoption of hydrogen and fuel cell technology in powering NRMM, validating safe and efficient hydrogen fuel cell solutions, and building a European supply chain for fuel cell components.
By offering cutting-edge solutions that address existing barriers to hydrogen energy, our company not only demonstrates the team’s commitment to sustainability but also highlights why we are an ideal choice for potential business partners looking to make a significant impact in the renewable energy sector.
We are seeking companies interested in forming a consortium, where we can offer our expertise in the development of hydrogen storage, distribution, and supply systems, as well as powertrain systems. The consortium for this call and topic should include at least one NRMM manufacturer, a research institution, and a Fuel Cell System integrator. Strong background in material science, engineering, and market deployment strategies will be appreciated, with proven knowledge in hydrogen fuel cell systems, including fuel cell modules, energy management systems, power electronics, cooling systems, and hydrogen storage solutions.
With the official call deadline of 23 April 2025 and a project duration yet to be defined, the team invites expressions of interest from potential partners ready to contribute to and benefit from this innovative endeavor. - Advantages and Innovations
-
This innovative R&D project introduces a solution for green hydrogen storage and distribution leveraging advanced material sciences and engineering. It aims to develop plug-and-play pressurized capsules, distinct from current market offerings. These capsules promise significant reductions in hydrogen supply chain costs, potentially decreasing distribution expenses by up to 27%.
Unlike existing solutions that often involve complex and costly infrastructure, the company's technology enables a more scalable, efficient, and environmentally friendly approach. The societal benefits are substantial, offering a pathway to decarbonize various sectors, from industrial manufacturing to transportation, aligning with global sustainability goals.
The environmental impact is profound, potentially slashing millions of tons of CO2 emissions annually as industries transition to cleaner energy sources. Specifically, this technology helps meet our impact objectives set for 2030: avoiding the emission of 1.5 million tons of CO2 associated with transportation (equivalent to planting 12 million trees), reducing atmospheric pollutants such as NOx by 1.5% in large cities and industrial environments, and preventing the need to extract more than 650 tons of lithium. In this way, the project lays the technical foundations that will ensure an effective contribution to achieving the SDGs 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and 13 (Climate Action).
Market-wise, the adoption of this technology could disrupt the current hydrogen economy, opening new markets and opportunities for green hydrogen applications. Our company, therefore, stands not just as a technical innovation but as a catalyst for economic and environmental transformation. - Stage of Development
