The objective of Mission Innovation IC-8 is to accelerate the development of a global hydrogen market by identifying and overcoming key technology barriers to the production, distribution, storage, and use of hydrogen at gigawatt scale.
The Hydrogen Valleys platform will feature comprehensive insights into the most advanced and ambitious projects and planned deployments around the globe. Based on extensive collection of primary data from the projects, the platform will among others provide information on technologies deployed, funding details, stakeholder management, barriers and key project success factors. The information will be complemented on the platform by best practices from the most advanced projects, a matchmaking section as well as a compilation of the most useful tools and studies available for project developers, policy makers and industry representatives alike.
