GENERAL OBJECTIVES

To promote innovative technologies and research capacities related to the production of hydrogen from marine renewable energies.

To increase technological maturity through the implementation of pilot projects at the Oceanic Platform of the Canary Islands (PLOCAN) for the generation of renewable
hydrogen from seawater.

Accelerate scientific collaboration and data exploitation with Canarian universities and research centres in the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands.

Strengthen the capacities of human resources, researchers and technicians.

Validate the use of hydrogen generated in industrial sectors.

To transfer the knowledge acquired to the economic-productive and academic fabric of the islands.

Specific objectives
