Despite the progress of fuel cells and hydrogen technology, legal and administrative processes (for planning, safety, installation and operation) struggle to keep up, resulting in costly delays which jeopardise investment. HyLAW’s evidence-based approach offers sector traction.
The EU-funded coordination and support action project, HyLAW, was the first of its kind to comprehensively review the root causes behind legal and administrative barriers holding back the deployment of fuel cell and hydrogen (FCH) technologies, in 18 national legal systems, as well as the EU’s own.

Renewable electricity sources are not always constant, which presents a problem in the move towards low-carbon economies. The award-winning GrInHy project developed a prototype technology that creates green, flexible hydrogen energy at high efficiency to enable ultra-low emission steel.
A major challenge for society today is the shift towards competitive, low-carbon economies. To achieve this goal – with the target of 2050 set by the European Commission - all sectors of the economy will need to use renewable electricity extensively.

Fuel cells produce electricity without combustion, yielding only heat and water as by-products. Onboard technology to increase performance and decrease costs should enhance uptake in a myriad of applications.
The Industrial Revolution was largely powered by steam engines and coal combustion. Today, steam turbine generators relying on combustion of fossil fuels produce over 65 % of the world’s electrical energy.

The promise of 5G for ubiquitous mobile connectivity also raises concerns about increased power consumption. Sofant Technologies is developing an intelligent antenna technology that will improve signal strength, consume less power and increase the battery life of mobile devices.

About 40 % of the 40 major transnational oil and gas pipelines that traverse Europe have been in operation for over 40 years. An EU initiative has taken a radically different approach to detecting ageing infrastructure defects.

When borders change, as seen with Lebanon and Palestine, research has been carried out to study and document them. However, this has not been the case with the Syrian borders. An EU-funded project set out to change this.

Approximately 85 % of stethoscopes are contaminated with bacteria including pathogens. An EU-funded project offers an innovative solution to reduce this alarming statistic.

Harnessing energy from hydrogen could help humanity decarbonise global economies. The BIONICO project is testing out an innovative new pilot plant which produces hydrogen straight from biomass such as landfill.
As mankind heads towards a decarbonised global economy, cleaner energy sources are increasingly sought after. Hydrogen could reduce both pollution and the production of harmful greenhouse gases. However, most of the hydrogen currently produced comes from natural gas, coal or oil, all of which create carbon dioxide.

The odds of pregnancy taking an unfortunate turn tend to grow dramatically for women in their late 30s. The mechanisms at play are now better understood thanks to research under the ChromOocyte project, and their unveiling could lead to better in vitro fertilisation treatments (IVF).
