The HYDEA
project has launched its first call to support the development and testing of
pre-commercial, hydrogen-based technologies. While there are already proven
solutions requiring only site-specific adaptation, new ideas continue to emerge
from researchers, industry professionals, and entrepreneurs—many of whom lack
the necessary resources.
This call offers access to HYDEA project partners’ experimental facilities and expertise. Proposals will be evaluated by an independent panel of experts based on scientific merit, technological feasibility, and market potential. Priority will be given to solutions with potential integration into port environments.

The HYDEA project, which is funded by the Interreg Atlantic Area 2021-2027 programme, was set up to boost the hydrogen transition in the Atlantic Area ports. During the second year of the project, the 10 members of the consortium committed into structuring methods that will enable the development of valuable tools such as action plans for ports and a decision-making tool based on real case studies. HYDEA partners have also launched three calls to provide access to their experimental facilities and expertise to support the development and testing of pre-commercial, innovative technologies.
The Port of Vigo continues to strengthen its leadership in innovation and sustainability, with two of its projects selected as finalists for the IAPH Sustainability Awards 2025, the prestigious prizes granted by the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH), the world’s largest port network.
