The new Hydrogen Territories Platform (HTP) was launched on 23 September 2020. The HTP will help to identify local replication opportunities for the development, deployment, and exploitation of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies for integrated local energy systems.

This Hydrogen Territories Platform was developed within the FCH-JU funded BIG HIT project to support replication of the local energy systems model. The HTP will provide information and modelling tools to support and inform the wider development and replication of this model to other islands and isolated territories. This HTP will provide information and best practice relating to the deployment methodology, operation and logistics for the supply and distribution of green hydrogen in islands and isolated territories.

Speakers at the HTP launch webinar on Wednesday 23 September included:

- Enrique Girón, FCH JU: Building Hydrogen Territories & Hydrogen Valleys

- Enrique Troncoso, BIG HIT: Scaling up hydrogen with communities in the Orkney Islands

- Jesús Simón, Aragon Hydrogen Foundation: Using HTP for learning and replication

- Alfonso Bernad, Aragon Hydrogen Foundation: Introduction to the HTP tools

- Nigel Holmes, SHFCA: Future HTP webinars and how to join the HTP

The launch webinar presentations explained how to join the HTP and start to make use of the replication tools on the new HTP website: http://h2territory.eu/ A wide range of organisations and regions attended the HTP launch:

HTP launch webinar on 23 September 2020 reached over 30 regions and territories across the globe

Organisations and regions with an active interest in replication opportunities for the development, deployment, and exploitation of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies for integrated local energy systems are all invited become members of the HTP: http://h2territory.eu/about-the-htp/#beacome-a-member
