Hydrogen is an energy carrier that is becoming increasingly capable of being produced green, allowing for economic growth while minimizing the impact on the environment. In an effort to scale back harmful emissions, countries around the world are adopting clean, renewable energy sources. Hydrogen technologies have an increasingly important role to play in industry’s transition toward sustainable value creation. Hydrogen will complement other low or zero carbon energy sources and become a key component of our planet’s clean energy mix. Following international trends, the Hungarian Government published Hungary’s National Hydrogen Strategy in 2021. Hungary has set the goal of developing strong competencies along the entire hydrogen value chain, creating the opportunity for our country to become an active player in the European hydrogen space.
When it comes to putting hydrogen technologies into practice, government and industry rely on research institutes and universities as key strategic partners. The Hydrogen Technology Research Center of John von Neumann University carries out work that unites all the faculties of the University. Its task is to coordinate research related to hydrogen energy, and to organize administrative and communication processes. It also participates in the development of educational topics and the institutional hydrogen strategy. The strategic goal of the center is to create a modern research center with the professional help and knowledge base of the university faculties, provide world-class development results globally, increase the number of domestic hydrogen experimental developments, advance the transition to a low-carbon economy, and strengthen the climate awareness of the population.
