The Clean Hydrogen Partnership is launching a new Project Development Assistance (PDA) programme for Hydrogen Valleys.
The PDA programme offers tailored expert support services in commercial, technical, regulatory and governance dimensions to advance Hydrogen Valleys across the European Union and in countries associated to Horizon Europe towards the Final Investment Decision (FID). With this Call for Applications, up to 15 PDAs in total (light and plus) will be awarded to eligible projects.
Depending on the project’s overall maturity, applications are possible for one of the two PDA tracks:
PDA light (6 weeks): Support for early-stage projects to build a detailed pre-feasibility project concept.
PDA plus (12 weeks): Modular assistance to help projects with a concept study in place advance towards the feasibility milestone, including a detailed roadmap to FID.
The call for applications opens on 11 July and the submission deadline is on 19 September. A virtual Info Day will be held on 18 July (09:30–11:30 AM CET) to provide more details on benefits, eligibility, and the application process. The Info Day will be conducted via Microsoft Teams; prior registration is not necessary.
