Hy2Infra

The European integrated project IPCEI Hy2Infra comprises 33 projects submitted by seven Member States: France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, and Slovakia. Further details on the individual projects are available on the respective workstream (WS) subpages. 

Hy2Infra focuses on establishing the foundation for a cross-border hydrogen infrastructure in Europe. It brings together 32 companies to accelerate the ramp-up of renewable and low-carbon hydrogen. 

The initiative includes the development of up to 3.2 GW of electrolysis capacity, the construction and repurposing of approximately 2,700 km of hydrogen pipelines, and the creation of large-scale underground storage facilities with a capacity of around 372 GWh. In addition, port infrastructure in Rotterdam will enable the import and handling of hydrogen via liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHC). 

By connecting production, storage, and transport, Hy2Infra lays the groundwork for the European Hydrogen Backbone and contributes to the EU’s 2030 climate and energy targets. Through its scale and cross-regional cooperation, the project sends a strong industrial signal, strengthens supply chains, and helps reduce costs for future projects across Europe.

The work carried out by the Direct Participants is organized in 4 workstreams: 

• WS1 – Large-scale electrolysis
• WS2 – Hydrogen transmission infrastructure
• WS3 – Hydrogen storage capacity
• WS4 – Hydrogen import and port infrastructure
