HyEfRe

HyEfRe addresses the challenges of integrating volatile renewable energy sources, energy efficiency, and decarbonizing the Central European energy system. Tackling these complex issues requires transnational collaboration that transcends national borders. As a result, a favorable investment environment will be pursued in Central Europe to promote renewable energy and green hydrogen technologies as a sector coupling solution, along with waste heat integration as a holistic approach.
Within the project, an optimization tool will be expanded (predecessor project DanuP-2-Gas), and a model for hydrogen production and consumption at the regional level will be developed to provide potential investors with the ability to calculate their own business cases. Additionally, the models will be tested in six regions, and the best business cases will be defined. Accompanying this, the project will examine the acceptance of hydrogen technologies in the respective countries, analyze legal barriers, and develop corresponding action plans.
