Corridor Hydrogen for Pyrenees region

H2PiyR project faces the challenge of creating a crossborder hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) corridor across the Pyrinees connecting the regions in the POCTEFA area with France to achieve the link with Mid and North EU countries where zero emission hydrogen mobility is already a reality. Thus, a hydrogen mobility network will be created between member states, the emissions linked to traditional vehicles will be reduced, local economies will be boosted and new business opportunities will merge, specially for SMEs, being the innovation in hydrogen technologies promoted in every knowledge area involved for the implementation of such corridor. To achieve these goals, 6 HRS will be installed being strategically located in Spain, Andorra and France (Zaragoza, Fraga, Tarragona, Andorra, Huesca city and Palmiers) and those built in 2010 in Huesca Walqa and Zaragoza Valdespartera will be maintained operative. The goal is the connection with those in France (two being built in Rhodez and Albi). In the same way, the beneficiaries will demonstrate 16 fuel cell vehicles; specifically, 6 Hyundai ix35, 8 Renault Kangoo cans and 2 buses propelled with hydrogen. For this ambitious deployment of infrastructures, the project is supported by the regional and local industry departments.
