Naturalhy is an Integrated Project, co-financed by the European Commission through the Sixth Framework Programme (2002-2006) for research, technological development and demonstration (RTD).

The main objective of NATURALHY project is to contribute to the preparation for the hydrogen economy by:

  • Identifying and removing the potential barriers inhibiting the development of hydrogen as an energy carrier, using the existing natural gas system as a catalyst for change;

  • Initiating the near-future practical transition towards the hydrogen economy
