Project HUGE

Project Acronym HUGE
Project Title Hydrogen Utilisation & Green Energy

Summary

HUGE aims to address the necessity for assessing the hydrogen renewable energy chain from production through storage, transport and on to the end-user in the Northern Periphery and Arctic (NPA) region. Many communities in the NPA are challenged by low economic diversity, resulting from their peripheral locations, dispersed demography and lack of critical mass. Simultaneously those remote, peripheral locations, have some of the best renewable energy resources in the world.

Objectives

Learning in the form of exchange of ideas, experience and good practice will be the basis of the first step in the main project - identification of viable technical processes for small scale hydrogen operations. This would be in the form of case studies focusing on carbon-free renewable hydrogen-based energy systems, and made available to the public via report and website based. Innovation will be the next phase of the main project where from the transnational learning (first step) and pooling of competences, the partners will engage in techno-economic assessment (TEA). The TEA will help to assess the economic viability of a process and provide direction to research, development, investment, and policy making. It will combine process modelling and engineering design with economic evaluation and be made available to the public. This will result in the advance of innovative economic development solutions that can be applied in practice in all the partner regions.
