📋 Tender Overview
The EMR H2 Booster consortium calls on small and medium-sized companies in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine EMR to join the transition towards hydrogen H2. To give this development an impulse the Interreg EMR H2 Booster project was recently kicked off in the Gouvernement in Maastricht. Nine different partners from Wallonia Flanders the Aachen and Limburg region have united in the consortium with the aim of giving an impulse to SMEs that are taking steps towards the use of hydrogen.Hydrogen as a clean energy sourceIn addition to electricity sustainably produced hydrogen will also be an important source of energy in the future. In order to boost the switch from fossil fuel to hydrogen the EMR H2 Booster consortium will provide companies with knowledge experience and the opportunity to find partner companies across the border and set up pilot projects that start for the next 18 months. larger-scale transition to a hydrogen-driven economy in Limburg and the neighboring regions.European support for Limburg and border regionsThe EMR H2 Booster consortium consists of regional development organisations organizations in the hydrogen cluster and a knowledge institute.
