A European Hydrogen Energy Roadmap HyWays is an integrated project, co-funded by research institutes, industry and by the European Commission (EC) under the 6th Framework Programme. HyWays will combine technology databases and socio-/techno-/ economic analysis to evaluate selected stake-holder scenarios for future sustainable hydrogen energy systems. This will lead to rec-ommendations for a European Hydrogen Energy Roadmap reflecting country specific realities in the participating member states. Main characteristic of this Roadmap is that it reflects real life conditions by taking into account not only technological but also institutional, geographic and socio/ economic barriers and opportunities as representative for the different member states. Therefore this Roadmap will be based on inputs from European in-dustry, research institutes and government agencies, and backed up with the best-available data. It will describe systematically the future steps to be taken for large-scale introduction of hydrogen as an energy carrier in the transport and power market and as storage medium for renewable energy. It will result in an action plan for the implementa-tion of the European Hydrogen Energy Roadmap. Moreover, it will describe the effects and impacts of this introduction on the EU economy, society and environment. It will propose concrete policy measures, priorities in technology development and train-ing/education. How HyWays will achieve this?
