Universities and industry given €13 million to investigate societal acceptance and technical challenges
A consortium of universities and businesses has been funded to research the societal impact of making hydrogen a key part of the Dutch economy.
Hydrogen holds promise as an environmentally sustainable fuel because, when it burns purely in oxygen, the only byproduct is water. Hydrogen can itself be obtained from water using a technique called electrolysis, but the process is energy-intensive.
