About the project

VHyTTA (Versatile Hydrogen Transfer for Transport Applications) is focused on developing next-generation hydrogen refuelling infrastructure to support the decarbonisation of large-scale transport.

Co-funded by the European Union and supported by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership with a total budget of € 8M, VHyTTA will develop and demonstrate two multipurpose and flexible refuelling station concepts -one fixed and one mobile- for both compressed gaseous hydrogen (cGH₂) and liquid hydrogen (LH₂), tailored to the needs of the aviation, maritime, and railroad transport sectors.

Over the next 48 months, the project will work toward the following key objectives:

• Develop, build, and operate a new concept of a fixed cGH₂ station for heavy-duty vehicles, containers, and airport ground fleets
• Design and construct a mobile LH₂ refueller serving aircraft and ships
• Develop and validate digital models of the stations to support their performance
• Demonstrate the technologies at TRL7
• Optimize logistics and value chain integration for hydrogen hubs at airports

 

Key Expected Impacts

• 1,504 European transport routes with liquid hydrogen adoption potential
• Up to 33.6 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions avoided by 2035
• Support for Europe’s target of 4 GW hydrogen production capacity
• Contribution to the deployment of more than 100 hydrogen refuelling stations by 2030
• Enabling the transition towards a climate-neutral Europe by 2050
