Second call for proposals under EU Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking issued

The second call for proposals under the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Technology Initiative (JTI) has been issued as of 2 July.  Around €140 million have been allocated to this second call, with €71.3 million by the Commission matched by in-kind contributions of the industrial partners.

The 29 project topics aim to put fuel cell and hydrogen energy technologies on the market two to five years sooner than what is estimated without this support. Selected teams of researchers will investigate bottlenecks in the whole range of applications for these energy technologies, from cars to large scale power plants, as well as the whole supply chain from hydrogen production to demonstration of the market-readiness of applications.

Breakthrough research should foster the use of hydrogen-fuelled buses and fuel cell vehicles. It will help develop hydrogen storage and improve fuel cells' durability, performance and the cost-efficiency to make green applications such as power stations or laptops ready for the market.

This call is the second being launched by this EU-wide collaborative private-public partnership whose total budget amounts around €1bn to be invested by 2014. By 2014, €1bn will have been invested.

EU commissioner for science and research Janez Potočnik said: "The new step taken today by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen JTI highlights the continued commitment of the European Commission and the European industry to develop breakthrough technologies to put Europe at the forefront of green technologies.

The application deadline for the call is 15 October 2009 and projects selected for contract negotiations will be announced in March 2010.  The call for proposals can be found here:  http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm?fuseaction=UserSite.CooperationDetailsCallPage&call_id=225
