Project Development and Application for Interreg Project "BSR Hydrogen Air Transport"

Challenge

Hamburg Airport and HPC developed the idea for an Interreg (interregional cooperation programme) project to prepare airports for operation with hydrogen-powered aircraft. The project aligns with the priorities of the Interreg Baltic Sea Region programme so that after the involvement of project partners, a project application will be prepared and submitted.

Tasks Performed

• Development of the Interreg project
• Involvement of future project partners
• First stage of the project application: Project Idea Form
• Full proposal as second stage of the project application

Benefit

HPC successfully combined their expertise from aviation projects, development of hydrogen logistics chains, co-funding management and the experience of multi-year coordination of Interreg projects to benefit the intended project success. HPC also supported the climate goals of the project partners and can thus make a tangible contribution to the decarbonization of aviation and the revitalization of regional air transportation.
