HyCoFlex Showcases Industrial Hydrogen Cogeneration at Clean Hydrogen JU Event
HyCoFlex was proud to participate in the Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (Clean Hydrogen JU) event, Hydrogen for Clean Heat & Power: From Concepts to Real Industrial Use, held in Brussels on 24–25 November 2025. The event brought together leading European projects demonstrating how hydrogen technologies are transitioning from research and development to real industrial applications.
During the dedicated session on hydrogen for clean heat and power, Ertan Yilmaz presented the latest progress of the HyCoFlex project. His presentation highlighted HyCoFlex’s work on developing hydrogen-ready cogeneration solutions for multi-megawatt gas turbines, with the project progressing towards a full 100% hydrogen demonstration at a Smurfit Westrock paper production site. This demonstration represents an important step towards decarbonising energy-intensive industries through flexible and reliable hydrogen-based combined heat and power (CHP) systems.
The session, moderated by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership Project Officer, showcased four flagship projects funded by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, each addressing different industrial applications for hydrogen technologies. Together, the presentations demonstrated the growing maturity of hydrogen solutions across sectors including industrial manufacturing, aluminium production, data centres, ports, airports, and cogeneration.
HyCoFlex was presented alongside the CLEANER, H2AL, and E2P2 projects, illustrating the breadth of innovation supported by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and the increasing deployment of hydrogen technologies in operational industrial environments.
The discussions reinforced a clear message: hydrogen for clean heat and power is no longer a future concept but is becoming a practical solution for Europe’s industrial decarbonisation. HyCoFlex is proud to contribute to this transition by advancing flexible, large-scale hydrogen cogeneration technologies that will help accelerate the adoption of renewable hydrogen across European industry.
We thank the Clean Hydrogen Partnership for organising this successful event and all speakers and participants for the valuable exchange of knowledge and experiences.
