HYDROGEN VALLEY AS A HUB FOR TECHNOLOGICAL COOPERATION BETWEEN SCIENCE, BUSINESS, LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND NGOS. AN OVERVIEW OF APPROACHES IN EUROPE

Summary/Abstract: Considering the deepening geopolitical and climate crisis, more attention is systematically being paid to the development of alternative energy technologies. It is important to note that economically important energy sovereignty can be achieved through methods that simultaneously meet climate neutrality objectives. Therefore, the current period is a historic opportunity to enable the development of green, renewable energy, as this has comprehensive justification. In the ongoing circumstances, one of the fastest growing branches of science and economy is hydrogen technology. Numerous hydrogen projects of varying territorial scope are being developed in Europe. They are characterised by different organisational approaches. Therefore, the authors have undertaken to review and evaluate different hydrogen valley concepts using the SWOT method. The conducted work reviews leading Euopean hydrogen projects and identifies the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of different types of hydrogen valley organisational concepts. The results of the work carried out will support the construction and development of new hydrogen valleys, which, in line with the objectives of the European Union, will be systematically created in the coming years.
