The direct use of hydrogen phase 2
With budget from GroenvermogenNL, on April 3 2026 NWO will open the new call for proposals for the Direct Use of Hydrogen – Phase 2 theme. This consortium will focus on the direct use of green hydrogen (carriers) as a fuel for high-temperature processes and on other industrial use cases for green hydrogen (hybrid energy storage, data centers, and more). € 9 million in subsidies have been made available for this purpose.
Goal
To decarbonize the Dutch industry, further advancements in hydrogen use and hydrogen-based technologies across critical application areas are needed.
Activities
The proposed research and innovation program for GroenvermogenNL Work Package 3 Phase 2 encompasses three areas:
- Process heat (including ammonia)
-
- Direct use of hydrogen as a fuel for high-temperature processes
- Direct use of ammonia as a fuel for high-temperature processes
- Direct hydrogen-to-power conversion technologies
- Hybrid energy storage
Information session
On 13 May, NWO and GroenvermogenNL jointly organise an information session on the additional call within Work Package 3 – phase 2: Direct use of hydrogen.
