  • at least one large-scale Hydrogen Valley and one small-scale Hydrogen Valley from the Call 2025 ranking list will be selected for funding provided they meet the required thresholds
  • additional Hydrogen Valleys proposals from the Call 2025 ranking list will be further selected for funding in order to optimise the use of this available budget
• The budget of this Call of EUR 184.5 million includes additional EUR 20 million from United Kingdom (UK) appropriations which are available to support projects in the reserve lists and will be allocated according to the Governing Board strategic priorities.
