The acronym “HyEfRe” stand for Hydrogen integration for efficient renewable energy systems. It has been approved under the call for proposals of the Interreg Central Europe Programme, within the Cooperating for a greener Central Europe priority, in the multiannual financial framework 2021-2027. HyEfRe brings together 11 partners from 8 Central European countries, with the aim of establishing green hydrogen ecosystems in the partners regions. Through is journey, HyEfRe will foster an investment-friendly environment for renewable energy and green hydrogen technologies integrated with regard to energy efficiency and balancing, via an innovative holistic approach. The project partners will evaluate hydrogen potentials with new models and develop and test a new tool to calculate ideal parameters for technical plants. The project’s action plan for policy actors aims to reduce the regulatory barriers impeding a timely expansion of renewables and green hydrogen.
HyEfRe project consortium consists of research institutes, energy development agencies and SMEs experienced in renewable energy and hydrogen integration, modelling, optimisation & IT, legal/economic assessment, and stakeholders engagement.
