Destinus Spain, Talgo, Begas Motor, EVO and Airbus receive the largest grants from programme 2 of the call for proposals for the Innovative and Knowledge Value Chain of Hydrogen.
The winners of Programme 2 were published yesterday: design, demonstration and validation of hydrogen-powered mobility included in the framework of incentives for the Innovative and Knowledge Value Chain of Renewable Hydrogen.
More than 38.6 million euros were distributed among 39 companies that intend to complete 13 projects. Within ten days, on the IDAE electronic headquarters, the proposed beneficiaries must communicate their acceptance of the project to the Instructing Body.
The companies Destinus Spain, Begas Motor, Talgo, EVO and Airbus receive the largest grants, over 3.4 million euros. Each one belongs to a different project.
The first of the firms received the largest amount of money: a total of €7,012,530.25 out of an eligible cost of €14,025,060.50. This amount will be used to develop a propulsion system powered by liquid renewable hydrogen for air mobility in Castilla y León.
For its part, Begas Motor received €3,968,389.20 for the design and development of a BeGas-V8 engine for a heavy vehicle powered by hydrogen combustion (BEH2).
The project will be carried out in the Community of Madrid and declared an eligible cost of €6,613,982.00.
There, Talgo is part of the group of companies that carry out HYmpulso: a comprehensive project in rail mobility through hydrogen: from generation to the track.
This company was awarded €3,916,299.60 out of an eligible cost of €9,790,749.00.

This call for proposals was endowed with 80 million euros, although in this first round only less than half of that was awarded. The rest will be awarded in the next call for proposals.

With a total allocation of 30 million euros, 11 companies received €11,906,282.10.
