Subject(s): Abstract: Projektet ska bidra till att integrera vätgas som energibärare i det svenska innovationssystemet genom att resultera i: 1. ökad kunskap och medvetenhet om vätgasens potential som energibärare 2. mer praktisk användning och demonstration av vätgas- och bränslecellsteknik 3. fler samverkande aktörer med intressen inom vätgasområdet 4. vätgas inkluderat i politiska handlingsplaner, juridiska ramverk och i forskningsprogram 5. större deltagande av svenska forskargrupper, företagare och regioner i den europeiska kraftsamlingen FCH JTI.Abstract: The project aim is to integrate hydrogen as an energy carrier in the Swedish innovation system. It is considered as very likely that hydrogen will play a role in the future sustainable energy system, as energy carrier and storage of renewable energy. In Sweden, there are outstanding research teams, pioneering entrepreneurs and motivated regions that see huge opportunities to both contribute to and benefit from such a positive development. By integrating hydrogen into the Swedish innovation system, the possibility for the Swedish actors to leverage these opportunities, is greatly improved. The project will integrate hydrogen as an energy carrier in the Swedish innovation system through the following results: 1. Increased knowledge and awareness of hydrogens potential as energy carrier 2. More practical usage and demonstration of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies 3. Greater number of collaborating actors within the field of hydrogen and fuel cells 4. Hydrogen included in political planning, legal frameworks and research programs 5. Greater involvement by Swedish universities, businesses and regions in the European FCH JTI.
