Core findings of H2 meets H2O presented by Pro Danube

Pro Danube'HARALD_ARTNER_DSC08492.jpgs General Secretary Róbert Rafael shared in the frame of an event dedicated to the potential of hydrogen as a solution to sustainable mobility, organised in Vienna by the Austrian Association for Transport and Infrastructure, the results of the interdisciplinary exploratory project H2 meets H2O. Successfully implemented under the lead of Pro Danube, the core findings of the project highlight the fact that hydrogen has an important role to play in achieving a climate-neutral IWT sector.
 
Co-funded by FFG Austrian Research Promotion Agency, the aim of the exploratory project H2 meets H2O was to assess the feasibility and applicability of hydrogen supply along the Danube as a logistics backbone from a technical, legal, and socio-economic point of view. A fruitful collaboration between Pro Danube, Energieinstitut an der JKU LinzHafen Wien GmbHHochschule Landshutviadonau and VEREIN WIVA P&G – WASSERSTOFFINITIATIVE VORZEIGEREGION AUSTRIA POWER & GAS, the project resulted in the elaboration of a roadmap for the implementation of hydrogen supply along the Danube.

The presentations delivered in the frame of the event are available for download here.
