The H2BASQUE project joins the Basque Hydrogen Corridor (BH2C).

The Basque Hydrogen Corridor (BH2C) continues to grow in terms of members and organisations. At its third General Assembly in Bilbao, the BH2C formally announced the inclusion in its activities of eight new projects at different stages of the value chain. One of the eight projects is H2BASQUE "technologies to boost the hydrogen economy in the Basque Country: green hydrogen generation", a project funded by the Basque Government under the ELKARTEK 2021 programme, which was created with the aim of developing innovative technologies (and their key components) for the production of green hydrogen at a competitive cost.

The project focuses on the development of key components of innovative technologies for green hydrogen production, such as AEM (Anion Exchange Membrane) electrolysis, PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolysis and thermochemical cycles. On completion, H2BASQUE will have developed three laboratory-scale prototypes for the generation of green hydrogen based on the aforementioned technologies.

The project is coordinated by TECNALIA, which is leading AEM electrolyser research and development activity, and also involves the participation of seven other partners from the Basque Science, Technology and Innovation Network, namely: CIC EnergiGUNE, Cidetec, the Energy Cluster, Petronor Innovación, Tekniker, Tubacex Innovación AIE, and UPV/EHU. 

Within the BH2C, the H2BASQUE project is included in Vertical 1: Production.
