Indo-French call for joint research and innovation project proposals in “Green Hydrogen Innovations for Sustainable Energy Solutions” 2025

Under Indo-French scientific partnership, Department of Science and Technology (DST), Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India, and French National Research Agency (ANR), France are launching the 1st joint call for submission of the project proposals in ?Green Hydrogen Innovations for Sustainable Energy Solutions?.


Theme:

Green Hydrogen Innovations for Sustainable Energy Solutions
The target of this Indo-French call is to enhance value creation through research and innovation for the development of new technologies, solutions, services, and business models on the following two topics, along with subtopics that can contribute:
  1. Innovations for electrochemical hydrogen production or fuel cells, e.g.
  • Alternatives to rare and costly electro-catalyzers for electrolyzers or fuel cells
  • Bio-inspired catalyst design for green hydrogen production
  • Natural enzyme-based hydrogen production
  1. Research on hydrogen carriers and storage, e.g.
  • Chemical hydrogen carriers like ammonia (advances in the chain, such as synthesis/ cracking processes)
  • Liquid hydrogen carriers like Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC)
  • Materials-based hydrogen storage like hydrides
 
Note: The highly innovative ideas in the above areas, even if not specifically mentioned in the subtopic catalog, are also welcome, provided they align with the topics and offer significant impact toward advancing a hydrogen economy.
Deadline for Submitting Proposals:    06th May 2025 (05.30 pm IST, 05.00 pm CET)
