The HYDRA Project is glad to announce the successful completion of its M12 General Assembly, held on November 27-28, 2024, at Politecnico di Torino, a leading hub of innovation and engineering excellence.

This two-day event brought together representatives from the entire HYDRA consortium, marking a key milestone in the project’s journey under the Horizon Europe program. It was an important opportunity for partners from across Europe—including researchers, scientists, and industry experts—to meet in person, share insights, and engage in constructive dialogue about the progress made in the past 12 months.

The HYDRA project benefits from the leadership of Warrant Hub Spa Tinexta Group, with Isella Vicini serving as the project coordinator. Her great expertise and guidance have been instrumental in steering the consortium through the various stages of this ambitious initiative, ensuring seamless collaboration among partners and progress toward achieving the project’s goals.

A Collaborative Space for Progress

The Assembly provided a dynamic platform to:

  • Review research results across all work packages, highlighting achievements and challenges.
  • Exchange expertise and perspectives among the diverse partners involved.
  • Plan the next steps in the roadmap towards achieving HYDRA’s ambitious goals of assessing the impacts and potential of a hydrogen-based economy.

Key presentations showcased the advancements made in climate modeling, hydrogen production and distribution, and its socio-environmental impacts. Discussions also revolved around integrating these findings into practical applications that can guide policymakers and industry leaders.

Looking Ahead

As HYDRA moves into its second year, the insights and strategies discussed at this Assembly will serve as a foundation for the next phases of the project. The consortium is united in its mission to explore hydrogen’s potential for decarbonization while addressing its risks and ensuring sustainable implementation.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to pave the way for a greener, hydrogen-powered future.
