Hydrogen energy heading for big R&D money?

Hype or the ‘Holy Grail’, hydrogen energy is set to follow in the footsteps of Galileo and become the next EU Joint Technology Initiative.

Background:

There are currently 29 European Technology Platforms (ETP), which are major large-scale research initiatives in key technology areas such as chemicals, nanotechnology, automobiles and food.

They bring together companies, research institutions, the financial world and regulatory authorities to define a common Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) in a specific field. The SRA is the outcome of a stakeholder consensus and expresses the ambition and the long-term vision for that specific sector.
