FCH 2 JU: Strong Public-Private Partnership with a focused objective Industry-led Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Fuel Cells & Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH2 JU) Industry Grouping Close to 100 members ~ 50% SME Research Grouping Over 60 members To implement an optimal research and innovation programme to bring FCH technologies to the point of market readiness by 2020 The Joint Undertaking is managed by a Governing Board composed of representatives of all three partners and lead by Industry. Legal basis: Council Regulation: 559/2014 of 6 May 2014 (H2020) 3
FCH 2 JU objectives 1. Reduction of production costs of long lifetime FC systems to be used in transport applications Transport Industrial applications 2. Increase of the electrical efficiency and durability of low cost FCs used for power production Residential CHP Feed to electricity grid 5. Reduce the use of critical raw materials Existing natural gas, electricity and transport infrastructures By-product from Chemical Industry Methanisation feed to natural gas grid Natural gas, biogas, coal, biomass 3. Increase the energy efficiency of low cost production of hydrogen from water electrolysis and renewable sources Renewable generation, storage and buffering 4 Large scale use hydrogen to support integration of renewable energy sources into the energy systems
