Lats week the European Commission approved 24 German projects as part of the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) Hydrogen programme.
The projects submitted by Germany are part of the so-called “infrastructure wave” (Hy2Infra) of the IPCEI Hydrogen, which includes a total of 33 projects from several EU Member States that have received joint approval under State aid law. Now that approval on EU level has been granted, Germany will swiftly issue the relevant funding approval notices, according to an official announcement by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action.
The Federal Government and the respective federal states have earmarked around €4.6 billion in funding for Germany’s IPCEI Hydrogen infrastructure projects.
