Sustainable Hydrogen - Valorisation Grant

18 May 2010

Over the next few decades, our energy system will have to change from fossil to renewable sources. In this vision, hydrogen will play an important role as a ’clean fuel’. The Sustainable Hydrogen programme’s aim is to develop the knowledge and technology concepts to enable this transition.

The Valorisation Grant is aimed at developing inventions created in fundamental research in the sustainable hydrogen research field into more refined technologies that are interesting for further commercial development by industry (a phase which will not be sponsored by the Sustainable Hydrogen programme). The research supported by this grant should lead to a prototype, proof of concept or a new production process.

Researchers can apply for a grant of up to 275,000 euro. The duration of the project may not exceed 2 years. Any research group within a Dutch University or a research institute recognised by NWO or at a GTI (TNO, ECN, A&F) can apply for the project. Participation of an industrial partner in the project is obligatory.

Deadline for proposals: 15 June 2010 23:59 hrs
