Codes & Standards

Remco Perotti, NEN


Standards

SCOPE

► A standard is a voluntary agreement between parties about a product, service or process. Standards are not laws, but "best practices". Everyone can benefit from this on a voluntary basis.

► Standards categorized by main-categories, subcategories, and classes.

▪ The main categories:

• Stationary applications

• Portable applications

• Hydrogen generation

• Infrastructure

• Hydrogen demand

example:


Standards

METHODOLOGY

► All hydrogen related standards included and gathered through publicly accessible online platforms from the following standardization developing organizations:

▪ International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

▪ International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML)

▪ International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

▪ European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

▪ European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC)


Standards

OUTPUT

► Information per standard on the FCHO

▪ Title of the standard

▪ Status of standard (published or under development)

▪ Description of the standard

▪ Direct link to the standard (and more information on the standard, such as a preview or table of contents)

▪ Direct link to the scope of the Technical Committee responsible for drafting the standard

▪ An overview of other categories to which the standard applies

Financial Support

Djilali Kohli, Director The Innovation Loop


Identifying and updating automatically all public funding opportunities relevant for Hydrogen Projects in the EU member states and EFTA countries.

SCOPE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT CHAPTER

► EU Direct Funding programmes

▪ Horizon 2020

▪ Life programme

▪ Era-Nets

▪ Eurostars…

► EU Indirect Funding programmes

▪ ERDF

▪ ESF

▪ CF

▪ Interregs…

► National Funding programmes (example FR.)

▪ ANR

▪ ADEME

▪ FUI ….


Identifying and updating automatically all public funding opportunities relevant for Hydrogen Projects in the EU member states and EFTA countries.

METHODOLOGY

► Sourcing

▪ Connection to all regional, interregional, national, intergovernmental and EU funding portals via API to allow automatic updates.

► Search function

▪ The search function uses an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm vs. traditional keyword search.

▪ This means that results of searches may include adjacent opportunities, loosely aligned with the search criteria with the recommendation to explore further for applicability and eligibility.

▪ The AI search capability is most efficient when multiple words are included.

Automatic classification of the most relevant funding opportunities based on the user’s search

OUTPUTS

► Classification of results

▪ Results are categorised according to how well aligned they are with the search criteria entered: A(high alignment), B (some alignment), C (loosely aligned) or E or NE (eligible or non eligible).

▪ By default, open A & B funding streams are presented first.

▪ Closed calls are also displayed in order to provide the user with background information on previous funding mechanisms.

▪ The user may tailor the results using the filters (type of programmes, type of projects, call status).

▪ Access to official website and summary of the call.


Future development, invisible for the user, but with big impact on the service.

WHAT'S NEXT ?

► Continuous improvement of our AI-engine

▪ We are constantly improving the matching between the query and the content of the topics to improve the quality of the results.

► Automatic sourcing of funding programmes.

▪ We are improving the capability of the platform to screen and add automatically more funding programmes.
