Open Innovation Test Bed for Electrolysis Materials for Clean Hydrogen Production

Welcome to CLEANHYPRO, a pioneering EU-funded project within the Horizon Europe framework, dedicated to addressing the critical need for efficient and sustainable hydrogen production.

Within the realm of sustainable production, CLEANHYPRO is set to establish an innovative Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) focused on scaling up circular innovative materials and components for electrolysis.

Our mission is to serve as an accessible Single Entry Point (SEP) for industrial partners, particularly SMEs, facilitating the adoption of revolutionary electrolysis technologies while minimizing costs and risks, thereby accelerating market adoption.

Join us in shaping the future of sustainable hydrogen production.
