Basque Hydrogen Corridor BH2C

The objective of the Basque Hydrogen Corridor is the creation of a hydrogen ecosystem in the Basque Country, which allows progress in the decarbonization of the energy, mobility, different industrial sectors, as well as services sectors and is based on specific projects and actions, building on a strategy of public-private collaboration. In addition, the BH₂C aims to be a key enabler of sustainable development of the hydrogen energy value chain in the region.
