Green Hysland Survey Report 2022 on green hydrogen

In the framework of its Green Hysland project, FEDARENE has developed a survey at European level with the aim to gauge the interest and awareness of hydrogen (H₂) uses among its members.

The survey focused on 4 main topics:

1. Interest and knowledge on green hydrogen;
2. Hydrogen in Road/Rail Transport;
3. Hydrogen in Maritime/Waterway transport;
4. Hydrogen in Power and buildings, in relation to energy transition.

This survey was conducted between January and March 2022 and the 13 questions have been answered by 29 FEDARENE members. The replies are well spread of all European regions and areas (rural, urban, islands).

The main conclusions are:

• FEDARENE members are aware of the potential offered by green hydrogen for the energy transition, and are generally interested in developing more projects related to this technology.
• Yet, several important barriers remain – above all, high costs – and disparities between regions and areas also exist.
• Several opportunities for the future were identified, as it seems many members were not aware of the funding programme of the FCH JU/Clean Hydrogen Partnership[1],
• Especially islands appear to be motivated and ready to take on the role of green hydrogen testbeds.

From the overall 13 questions, conclusions were drawn, which can be found on p. 19 and 20 of this report.
