New Guideline Released: Supporting the Development of Local Alpine Green Hydrogen Ecosystems

Jul 10, 2025

As part of the AMETHYST project, the partner Agenzia per l’Energia del Friuli Venezia Giulia (Italy) with contributions from all project partners has successfully completed and released a key project output titled: “Development Guideline for Local Alpine Green Hydrogen Ecosystem – Capitalization of Local Alpine Green H₂ Ecosystem.”

This document presents a comprehensive, step-by-step methodology for designing, testing, and evaluating green hydrogen (H₂) applications tailored to Alpine contexts. It supports public authorities and H₂ project developers in aligning hydrogen production with local energy ecosystems and regional demand—ensuring both environmental sustainability and long-term economic viability.

Grounded in practical insights from pilot activities, the methodology offers a solid foundation for scaling up green hydrogen initiatives across the Alpine space. By combining strategic planning with hands-on guidance, it facilitates informed decision-making for a cleaner, hydrogen-powered future.

The guideline is now available for download on the AMETHyST website under the “Outcomes” section.

We invite all stakeholders, planners, and decision-makers in the energy sector to explore this valuable resource.
