eGHOST has an overall budget of € 1.133.541,25, with an EU contribution of € 998.991,25. The project starts in January 2021 and concludes in December 2023.
The European Commission considers eco-design as a key factor to meet its commitment to a carbon neutral and circular economy by 2050, and this has been reflected in different documents (EU Green Deal, New Industrial Strategy for Europe, Circular Economy Directive…).
eGHOST will contribute to position FCH in this context, developing the first preparatory study of a hydrogen product, under the principles of the Ecodesign Directive and will improve the understanding of FCH technologies as a sustainable investment, according to the EU taxonomy, enhancing corporate social responsibility studies.
