The use of hydrogen as an energy vector is quite new and the different rules and regulations to install a new hydrogen infrastructure like a refueling station can be unclear. In addition, since hydrogen was mainly use for industrial purposes, the different rules could be too strict to develop the new hydrogen demands (for example, refueling stations are quite close to residential buildings).
That’s the reasons why one activity of the HyPOP project, a European project for which cluster TWEED is partner, is dedicated to highlight the barriers that the different European countries must deal with to install new hydrogen facilities. To achieve this activity, each HyPOP partners (Italy, Ireland, Spain, Poland, Bulgaria and Belgium) are going to schedule one workshop with their stakeholders. The webinaire for Belgium was carried out the 24th of January.
