  Green H2 route masterplan for Alpine Space - Pilot Implementation, SLOVENIA

  WP2 builds on the outputs of WP1 by actively implementing and pilot testing the joint development of transalpine green hydrogen routes. This effort includes advancing territorial mobility plans and increasing partners’ capacities on interconnected H2 supply & distribution planning across the Alpine space. Through the WP2, H2MA partners aim to increase the participation and coordination capacities of green H2 infrastructure actors to effectively plan transalpine green H2 mobility routes (with the deployment of Local Working Groups as pilot implementors), and to improve the implementation knowledge of municipalities, regional councils, and energy agencies in facilitating and monitoring the delivery of interoperable green H2 mobility solutions.   1. The first step was the organization of Local Working Groups by the pilot partners* in their areas (Slovenia, Italy, Austria, France, Germany), involving stakeholders from their respective regions. Through these meetings, hosted in different formats, stakeholders could exchange knowledge, discuss regional strategies, and develop coordinated approaches to advance hydrogen initiatives in their areas. A summary report of Local Working Group meetings (visualizable on the resources: D.2.2.1) was finally made by PFV, who collected several inputs, focusing on participants’ experiences with the design of territorial green H2 networks. *The Pilot partners are: KSSENA (SI), BSC Kranj (SI), EMS (FR), FLA (IT), PFV (FR), CMT (IT), 4ER (AT), LR (IT), COD (IT)    2. Currently H2MA partners are working on the second stage (D.2.3.2): the Green H2 route masterplan for Alpine space. In an upcoming workshop, FLA will guide the partners on how to review and collaboratively merge the territorial route designs into a unified transalpine Green H2 masterplan. Finally, they will present the transalpine masterplan for Green H2 mobility along with the lessons learned from the workshop, emphasizing the procedures employed to create the masterplan. This working process will allow the pilot partners to validate the common trans-Alpine green H2 mobility masterplan and submit it to the corresponding national and EU bodies responsible for the development of H2 strategies, in order to receive feedback. In conclusion, all the partners will organize the final Local Working Groups meeting to integrate the received feedback and evaluate the pilots’ impact in the Alpine space.   Pilot Implementation - SLOVENIA  Local Working Group meetings were conducted by PP2 - BSC Kranj and PP1 - KSSENA to engage stakeholders in hydrogen infrastructure planning. BSC Kranj's LWG, held concurrently with the transnational H2MA LWG kickoff on the 26th of March 2024, introduced the H2MA tool via video presentation and facilitated discussions on infrastructure planning. KSSENA convened its LWG on April 2, 2024, and subsequently on May 17, 2024, focusing on the Velenje region.

Pilot Implementation - ITALY In Italy, Partners conducted different meetings with stakeholders from four different regions. First PP12 – COD held an online meeting with stakeholders from Vienna Region and Regione Veneto. PP9 - RL conducted different meetings with stakeholders. The meetings took place on 15/05/2024 and 29/05/2024, held both in Milan and virtually, via Webex. Partner PP6 – CMT organized two online meetings on the 17th and 18th of June 2024 with stakeholders from the Piedmont region.

Based on this the H2-routes for the Styrian region will be created, and the results will be discussed with the stakeholders within a second round of LWG meetings. They first organized a meeting with the Styrian national and regional Development department and a meeting with the Styrian Energy Agency onsite. Then, online, they organized a meeting with the Regional economic representatives in course of the “Standortmanager: innentreffen”. Finally, they organized an online meeting on the 11th of June 2024 with interested stakeholders.

Pilot Implementation - FRANCE In France, Local Working groups were conducted by PP3 - EMS and PP5 - PVF. They first held a meeting with stakeholders from the region of Grand Est on site. To gather more feedback from those stakeholders and from those who could not join the first LWG, Partners organized an online meeting still for the Grand Est region. Moreover, they organized a last meeting onsite with stakeholders from the region Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
