Take the first step: write down your first concept on no more than three pages and submit your idea to us.

It should also clearly outline the innovative nature of the project and the way in which new economic power can be generated in the Rhenish mining area. Alongside climate change, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hch2.de\/strukturwandel-im-rheinischen-revier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">structural change in the Rhenish mining area<\/a> is the second important factor influencing the work of HC-H2. <\/p>\n\n<p>The cluster aims to develop into a demonstration region in which innovative hydrogen technologies are demonstrated, the development, operation, and export of which will create new jobs. With the goal being to export these technologies to other regions of the word, hydrogen technology is having a growing influence in the fight against climate change. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:200px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color has-small-font-size wp-elements-c97b6a6ac26510578e57d24ac720fcae\" style=\"line-height:1.3\">The copyright for the images used on this website is held by Forschungszentrum J\u00fclich, aligator kommunikation GmbH and<br\/>stock.adobe.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4148,"template":"","categories":[253,252,254],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8418","aktuelles","type-aktuelles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-forschung-en","category-general-en","category-wasserstoff-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Road to a Hydrogen Future - HCH2<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/hch2.de\/en\/news\/the-road-to-a-hydrogen-future\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Road to a Hydrogen Future - HCH2\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u201cHydrogen is an essential part of the future of our company.
