We are thrilled to announce our participation in a new project: H2 meets H2O. The aim of the exploratory project is to assess the feasibility and applicability of hydrogen supply along the Danube as a logistics backbone from a technical, legal, and socio-economic perspective.Therefore, based on a multimodal supply concept, from the production of hydrogen up to the end-users, the logistical basis for a subsequent R&D project with innovative pilot applications for inland waterway vessels, railways and trucks shall be created. The preparatory work of the exploratory study will be structured along three pillars:
- Analysis of basic principles and implementation potential,
- Stakeholder analysis & network development,
- Result utilisation & monitoring.
