The Community Hydrogen Forum (CH2F) is a platform designed to help everyone understand the opportunities hydrogen technologies offer. The platform is intended to be a forum for national, regional, and local governments, energy agencies, community development groups, energy cooperatives, educational institutions, renewable energy developers, transport sectors, and grid operators. In fact, any stakeholder from Ireland, UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Germany is encouraged to participate as a member of CH2F. The main objectives of CH2F can be summarised as;
- To raise awareness of the potential of hydrogen in sustainable community development, decarbonisation, and energy security.
- To offer a forum to share information, experience and best practice of how communities and projects are deploying hydrogen across north west Europe.
- To provide an up-to-date, informed resource for hydrogen information
- To provide access to a unique ‘decision support tool’ (DST) to assist in evaluating how hydrogen technologies can be deployed in individual scenarios
- To play a role in developing long term strategies for the advancement in adoption of hydrogen technologies.
