What an incredible couple of days in Barcelona! Last Wednesday and Thursday, we gathered for the 2nd #CastillaYLeonH2Valley project meeting. A big shout-out to our partner Esade for hosting us! 👏 The gathering was packed with discussions, ideas-sharing, and with fresh progress updates on our mission: unlocking the potential of Castilla y León to establish a competitive, circular, and clean #hydrogen value chain. Some highlights: ➡️ Updates on project coordination, demonstration activities, digitalisation, and business models. ➡️ Discussions on stakeholder engagement, synergies, and dissemination strategies. ➡️ Pitch sessions showcasing business models for our pilot initiatives, from hydrogen production and distribution to transport and synthetic fuels. ➡️ We visited EVARM, where we saw hydrogen applications to mobility. We left Barcelona energised and united, ready to keep driving #decarbonisation, innovation and sustainable growth 💪
About us
Castilla y Leon Hydrogen Valley aims to develop and demonstrate a large-scale Hydrogen Valley in Castilla y León region (Spain), encompassing mobility, industry and energy applications. The project will guarantee at least two years of full operation aiming to achieve a full integration and operation during the period 2028-2029. The focus will be on operating the Castilla y Leon Hydrogen Valley (CyLH2Valley) to demonstrate its financial viability, how all the different applications (9 pilots) fit together in an integrated system approach, and the versatility of hydrogen, as an energy vector, in enabling sector coupling. The financial viability of the CyLH2Valley will pave the way for the upscaling of the valley and the creation of a clean hydrogen economy in the Castilla y León region by 2035, aligning the interests of the most relevant stakeholders from thehydrogen value chain. This contributes to the achievement of the EU hydrogen strategy and REPowerEU plan, while advancing towards the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The project is co-funded by the European Union and supported by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and its members. Account managed by Fondazione ICONS.

The #hydrogen revolution is like a forest growing: quiet, steady, but unstoppable! This transformation is unfolding across Europe without people even being aware of it. It presents a crucial path to #decarbonisation and offers unique and complementary solutions for sectors like heavy #UrbanMobility 🚗 To dig deeper, we sat down with Luigi Crema (Fondazione Bruno Kessler - FBK & President of Hydrogen Europe Research) and explored the challenges slowing down hydrogen’s widespread adoption, as well as the strategic European efforts to accelerate the large-scale integration of hydrogen solutions, ensuring Europe maintains its technological leadership.
