Cos’è la FCH 2 JU
La Fuel Cell and Hydrogen 2 è un partenariato pubblico-privato costituito nell’ambito di Horizon 2020 che ha l’obiettivo di sostenere le attività di ricerca, sviluppo tecnologico e dimostrazione nelle tecnologie delle celle a combustibile e dell’energia a idrogeno in Europa, al fine di accelerare l’introduzione sul mercato di queste tecnologie, realizzando il loro potenziale come strumento per realizzare un sistema di energia pulita.
Le celle a combustibile, come tecnologia di conversione efficiente, e l’idrogeno, come vettore di energia pulita, hanno un grande potenziale per aiutare a combattere le emissioni di anidride carbonica, ridurre la dipendenza da idrocarburi e contribuire alla crescita economica.
I tre membri della Fuel Cell and Hydrogen 2 sono la Commissione europea, le industrie di celle a combustibile e idrogeno rappresentate da Hydrogen Europe e la comunità di ricerca rappresentata da Hydrogen Europe Research.
