GENCOMM will address the energy sustainability challenges of NWE communities through the implementation of smart hydrogen-based energy matrixes. The project validates the maturity of hydrogen technologies by implementing 3 pilot plants that link the 3 main northwest European renewable sources (Solar Power, Wind Power, and Bioenergy) with energy storage and the main forms of energetic demand (Heat, Power and Transportation fuels).
Based on the pilot plants; integrated technical and financial simulation models will be developed. Together, both models will form a Decision Support Tool (DST) that provides a roadmap for communities to transition to renewable, hydrogen-based energy matrixes. The final goal of the project is, through the combination of sources and forms of demand, to lead NWE’s road to sustainability while granting hydrogen its position as a commercially viable energy medium for the future.
Hyenergy's part in gencomm
HyEnergy helped to design the Gencomm project and have been working alongside NUIG to develop the DST, as well as the community hydrogen forum (CH2F – communityh2.eu) – a place designed to help communities take their first steps in hydrogen and get in touch with experts. Through our work on CH2F, we were instrumental in the creation of the Hydrogen Triple Alliance, a first-of-its-kind partnership between interreg projects from different regions – Gencomm from North West Europe; SEAFUEL from the Atlantic Area and HUGE from the Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme.
