H2SYMBIOTIC Project Awarded €13 Million in Funding to Advance Green Hydrogen Integration and Decarbonisation

The project H₂SYMBIOTIC – Multi-Sector Hydrogen Integration for Decarbonisation and Circularity has been successfully granted funding under the “SIID – I&D&I Empresarial – Operações em Copromoção” programme, within PORTUGAL 2030.

With a total budget of €13 million, this project brings together a strong consortium of 11 partners, including CoLAB Net4CO2, HyLab, BUILT CoLAB, INESC TEC, SYSADVANCE, WinPower, VentilAqua, Águas e Energia do Porto, FEUP, Grama Maiúscula, and Fado Energy, under the coordination of WinPower.

The H₂SYMBIOTIC project aims to develop and demonstrate innovative solutions for the multi-sector integration of green hydrogen, fostering decarbonization and circularity in industrial and urban environments. By combining advanced digital technologies with sustainable physicochemical processes, the project will enable the integration of hydrogen production, storage, and utilization across key sectors, including energy, industry, mobility, and wastewater treatment.

NET4CO2 will focus on the production of biomethane through the conversion of green hydrogen and biogenic CO₂. Its activities will include the development and optimization of the methanation process, the operation and validation of a pilot-scale unit, and the implementation of digital integration tools with online monitoring capabilities to support process control and performance assessment.

Through this work, CoLAB Net4CO2 will contribute to advancing the conversion of biogenic CO₂ into renewable methane, supporting the development of circular carbon solutions and the integration of renewable energy into industrial processes.
