The 'Joint Topic with India on Waste to Renewable Hydrogen' aims to foster international collaboration between the European Union and India in converting waste into renewable hydrogen. The objective is to develop innovative technologies and solutions for efficient waste-to-hydrogen conversion processes, addressing environmental concerns, resource efficiency, and energy security. Projects should focus on enhancing the sustainability of hydrogen production by utilizing waste materials, reducing dependency on fossil fuels, and promoting circular economy principles.

This initiative encourages joint research and innovation actions that leverage expertise from both regions to tackle common challenges in waste management and renewable hydrogen production. The call seeks proposals that can demonstrate advanced methods in waste conversion technologies, integration of renewable energy sources, and scalable solutions applicable in diverse geographical settings. Participants are expected to contribute to the development of sustainable energy supply chains, improve technological leadership, and enhance the competitiveness of European and Indian industries in the renewable hydrogen sector. The collaboration aims to support the transition towards a sustainable, secure, and competitive energy system, aligning with the objectives of the European Green Deal and India's energy policies.
