2nd Call for International Hydrogen Projects
📢 Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy launches 2nd Call for International Hydrogen Projects.
The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE), together with the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR), has published the second call for funding under the guidelines for international hydrogen projects. The BMWE thus supports the use of German hydrogen technologies abroad and aims to prepare and implement import routes to Germany.
✅ Key points:
📌 German companies can submit project outlines until 18 December 2025.
📌 Funding supports the development of renewable hydrogen and its derivatives outside Europe, with a focus on industrial-scale production plants and accompanying research (e.g., feasibility studies).
📌 Special emphasis is placed on German SMEs – technology suppliers and project developers – to strengthen expertise abroad and open new markets.
📌 Up to €30 million per project may be granted (subject to budget approval until 2026).
📅 On 13 October 2025, an information event will provide details on funding opportunities and allow participants to ask questions.
