ERM has supported the HYTLANTIC JV in the preparation of its successful application to the European Union’s Innovation Fund. HYTLANTIC’s GreenH2Atlantic project has been awarded €62 MM by the Innovation Fund, which is designed to support low-carbon technologies and projects that contribute to the decarbonization of European industry and help to boost the region’s competitiveness.

The project will deploy 100 MW of H₂ production capacity powered by wind and solar renewable electricity sources to supply H₂ to the Sines refinery and for blending in the natural gas grid.

The successful GreenH2Atlantic Innovation Fund submission was one of eight H₂ production proposals invited to the grant agreement phase, out of 70 submissions to the industry electrification and H₂ call. ERM’s services included strategic project review, proposal preparation and ongoing project support.

Michael Dolman, partner lead for ERM on the project said, “It has been a privilege to support HYTLANTIC on its Innovation Fund and project development journey. GreenH2Atlantic is a high impact decarbonization project that will provide valuable lessons for other project developers seeking to deliver large-scale green H₂ facilities. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with HYTLANTIC to support the European energy transition.”
