Luxembourg Hydrogen Valley
What is LuxHyVal?
LuxHyVal is a 5 years long project funded by the European Commission Horizon Europe Programme. LuxHyVal aims to contribute to the achievement of the European target on decarbonisation of the industrial sector before 2030 by launching a flagship hydrogen valley in Luxembourg to boost the penetration of hydrogen through:
Deploying
green hydrogen initiatives across the entire value chain from local production to utilization, including storage and distribution for a range of applications.
Ensuring
safety designs and operation to deliver certified green hydrogen
Targeting
industry and mobility, while also connecting with existing / planned infrastructures.
Defining
business models, regulation and commercial negotiations.
Replicating
lessons learned and solutions in 2 Follower Valleys in Central (Czechia) and Eastern (Ukraine) Europe.
Why LuxHyVal?
LuxHyVal spearheads Luxembourg's embrace of hydrogen as a linchpin in its decarbonization strategy, transitioning from imported grey hydrogen to locally produced green hydrogen. This initiative integrates stakeholders' interests and garners public acceptance while focusing on upskilling, environmental considerations, and digitalization. Through a phased approach, LuxHyVal aims to instill confidence among stakeholders and gradually scale up hydrogen adoption, leveraging six interconnected elements spanning technical, economic, market, and social dimensions. By doing so, LuxHyVal not only addresses energy-intensive sectors' needs but also sets a blueprint for sustainable hydrogen ecosystems, driving Luxembourg's transition towards a greener energy landscape.
