As part of the competition, the BMBF therefore invites consortia from science, industry and society to submit ideas for hydrogen projects that advance:
- Water electrolysis on an industrial scale and improve its service life as well as production and operating costs
- The development of supra-regional transport solutions for green hydrogen
- Analyses of how a hydrogen production and transport infrastructure can be implemented in a European, climate-friendly and socially accepted way
In addition, the BMBF also invites the submission of outlines for basic research projects. In this way, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research also intends to press ahead with the clarification of specific issues. Basic research will focus on materials research, systems studies and possible key technologies for the next and subsequent generations.
The call for funding, templates for ideas and project outlines as well as further information on the submission process (in German) can be found at: www.ptj.de/projektfoerderung/anwendungsorientierte-grundlagenforschung-energie/ideenwettbewerb-gruener-wasserstoff
