HYDRA
Hydrogen economy benefits and risks: tools development and policies implementation to mitigate possible climate impacts
Description
HYDRA focuses on understanding and addressing the potential impact of widespread hydrogen use on climate, environment and society. The project assesses a scenario of high hydrogen penetration in the energy mix, considering current policies and different hydrogen technologies. It considers the consumption of resources in its deployment (water, land, etc.), as well as possible leakage to the atmosphere and its possible contribution to climate change. Monitoring systems are also developed to detect and quantify these leaks. Finally, guidelines will be provided to policy makers to mitigate risks and guide towards sustainable hydrogen penetration.
Objectives
- Analyse climate change projections and (socio-economic-environmental) impacts of a high hydrogen penetration scenario in an integrated manner.
- Identify benefits, risks and possible mitigation actions.
- Develop guidelines and directives to guide decision and policy makers.
- Develop new technological tools (sensors and remote control infrastructure) to prevent leakage and ensure safety.
Actions
- Scientific coordination.
- Analysis of policies, directives and incentive schemes related to hydrogen penetration at European and global level.
- Improvement of an Integrated Assessment Model (IAM). Especially its energy, environmental and climate modules.
- Modelling and simulation of climate, environmental (land use, water, etc.) and socio-economic impacts of a high hydrogen penetration scenario.
- Development of policy briefs and guidelines for a sustainable development of a hydrogen-based economy.
Expected Results
- General framework, description and classification of hydrogen policies (catalogue).
- Updated IAM model (improved WILIAM) including developments made in the HYDRA project.
- Integrated risks and mitigation actions for the large-scale hydrogen economy.
- Policy briefs and guidelines for a sustainable development of the hydrogen economy.
R&D Line
- Research and development of integrated assessment models (IAM) to support the definition of climate change and energy transition policies.

Energy and Climate Policies Projects:
THUNDER
THUNDER project aims to overcome existing barriers hampering a wide adoption of DCs waste heat recovery strategies, providing an innovative, efficient and cost attractive Seasonal Thermal storage based on Thermochemical Materials
SCO2OP-TES
SCO2OP-TES focuses on the development of technologies for storing electricity in the form of heat, which is then converted back into electricity (P2H2P – power-to-heat-to-power).
INHERIT
The overall vision of INHERIT is to create a systematic methodology, accompanied by leading-edge Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), such as Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and (big) data analytics, and associated social/behavioural practices, towards sustainable, inclusive and resource-efficient Cultural Heritage (CH) solutions.
IAM COMPACT
IAM COMPACT supports the assessment of global climate goals, progress, and feasibility space, and the design of the next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and policy planning beyond 2030 for major emitters and non-high-income countries.
BUILDSPACE
BUILDSPACE aims to couple terrestrial data from buildings with aerial imaging from drones equipped with thermal cameras and location annotated data from satellite services to deliver innovative services for the building and urban stakeholders and support informed decision making towards energy-efficient buildings and climate resilient cities.
