FCH 2 JU under H2020

Two key activity pillars Budget of €1.33 billion in 2014 - 2020 Strong industry commitment to contribute inside

the programme + through additional investment

outside, supporting joint objectives.

• Road vehicles

• Non-road mobile

vehicles and

machinery

• Refuelling

infrastructure

• Maritime, rail and

aviation applications

• Fuel cells for power

and combined heat

& power generation

• Hydrogen

production and

distribution

• Hydrogen for

renewable energy

generation (incl.

blending in natural

gas grid)

CROSS-CUTTING ISSUES (e.g. standards, consumer awareness,

manufacturing methods, studies)

TRANSPORT ENERGY

FCH 2 JU under Horizon 2020

• Members: IG / RG / EC

• PPP structure

• Implementation mainly through calls for

proposals or procurement studies

• More demonstration and market uptake

(60% of FCH JU contribution)

• In-kind contributions only from members

(or constituent entities)

• At least 3 Member States involved in a

project (except support actions)

• Increased Cooperation with National

and Regional Initiatives

Industrial applications Residential CHP

Natural gas, biogas,

coal, biomass

Renewable generation,

storage and ‘buffering’

Methanisation feed

to natural gas grid

Existing natural gas, electricity and transport infrastructures

FCH 2 JU objectives

Transport Feed to electricity grid

Reduction of production

costs of long lifetime FC

systems to be used in

transport applications

Increase of the electrical

efficiency and durability of low

cost FCs used for power

production

Increase the energy efficiency

of low cost production of

hydrogen from water

electrolysis and renewable

sources

By-product from

Chemical Industry

Large scale use hydrogen to

support integration of

renewable energy sources

into the energy systems

Reduce the use of critical raw materials
