PRHyUS

PRHyUS is a European project co-financed by the Interreg Europe Programme that aims to advance regional policy frameworks in Europe in order to support hydrogen demand, investment, and use across different sectors, and to facilitate the widespread deployment and adoption of renewable hydrogen technologies—contributing to the EU’s “Greener Europe” goals by accelerating industrial decarbonisation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Project Aims

• Improve regional policy instruments to accelerate industrial decarbonisation and enhance the use of renewable energy through hydrogen.
• Strengthen the conditions for local industries and stakeholders to adopt hydrogen as a sustainable business option in their processes and infrastructure.
• Address fragmented policy frameworks and foster cross-sectoral integration to enable hydrogen deployment in hard-to-abate industrial sectors.
• Promote interregional learning and the transfer of good practices and technical know-how among policy makers, industry, and research institutions.
• Raise awareness and engagement among stakeholders (public authorities, industry, civil society) about the benefits and opportunities of renewable hydrogen.

Expected Results

• 7 policy instruments improved
• 46 good practices identified and disseminated
• 47 organisations with increased governance capacity

Tenerrdis is responsible for leading a group of stakeholders to identify best practices and barriers to be overcome in order to stimulate demand for hydrogen based on their field experience.
The cluster is also responsible for a specific task to identify potential hydrogen consumption in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and to establish a methodology for identifying this consumption that can be used by other partners.
The consortium will be welcomed and visits to exemplary regional sites are planned for fall 2026.
