Support for innovation and demonstration work for hydrogen

This call for projects (AAP) aims to support innovation and demonstration work, allowing for the development or improvement of components and systems related to hydrogen production, transport, and its uses, such as industrial, transport, or energy supply applications.

This work will be carried out by one or more companies to develop equipment, a product, or a service, or to create a demonstrator implementing hydrogen, from an ecological and energy transition perspective and the structuring of the sector.

Projects must fall into at least one of the four axes presented below:

Axe 1 - Technological building blocks: innovative components and systems.

Axe 2 - Innovative industrial and network pilots (or first commercial), temporary or localized energy supply.
Axe 3 - Design and demonstration of new vehicles.
Axe 4 - Eco-design and recyclability.

The call for projects is open from May 6, 2025, until September 25, 2026, and includes 2 intermediate rounds:

• Intermediate round 1: September 29, 2025
  Intermediate round 2: April 6, 2026
