Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking
Aims to accelerate the market entry of fuel cells and hydrogen technologies. The Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking (FCH 2JU) is set to go ahead with a €1,33 bn investment.
The Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) was established by Council Regulation May 2008 as a Community Body with the European Commission and the Industry Grouping as founding members. The Research Grouping joined shortly after. The FCH JU was created with the mission to reach a new level of coordination, joint agenda setting, cooperation and commitment including co-financing. The FCH JU aimed to place Europe at the forefront of fuel cell and hydrogen technologies worldwide and enable the market breakthrough of fuel cell and hydrogen technologies, thereby allowing commercial market forces to drive the substantial potential public benefit.
The presentation by Dr Jean Luc Delplancke will highlight the results already achieved in the projects supported by the FCH JU and present the FCH 2 JU, the next step for founding projects in the field of fuel cells and hydrogen technologies under the Horizon 2020, the new Framework Program of the European Commission.
9th October 2014 - The UK Government unveiled its plans to provide up to £11million support to facilitate the roll-out of hydrogen fuelled vehicles and associated hydrogen refuelling station (HRS) infrastructure across the UK. It follows news earlier this month that Toyota has chosen the UK as one of the first markets for its FCEV when it goes on sale next year
