ERM, the world’s largest specialist sustainability consultancy, has supported the HYTLANTIC Joint Venture in the preparation of its successful application to the European Union’s Innovation Fund.

HYTLANTIC’s GreenH2Atlantic project has been awarded EUR 62 million 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 hydrogen production capacity powered by wind and solar renewable electricity sources to supply hydrogen to the Sines refinery and for blending in the natural gas grid.

The successful GreenH2Atlantic Innovation Fund submission was one of eight hydrogen production proposals invited to the grant agreement phase, out of 70 submissions to the industry electrification and hydrogen 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 hydrogen facilities. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with HYTLANTIC to support the European energy transition.”
