The European Commission is supporting the Coordination Action “HyLights” and the Integrated Project “Roads2HyCom” in the field of Hydrogen and Fuel Cells. The two projects support the Commission in the monitoring and coordination of ongoing activities of the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Platform (HFP), and provide input to the HFP for the planning and preparation of future research and demonstration activities within an integrated EU strategy. A handbook for communities has been published.

The two projects are complementary and are working in close coordination. HyLights focuses on the preparation of the largescale demonstration for transport applications, while Roads2Hycom focuses on identifying opportunities for research activities relative to the needs of industrial stakeholders and Hydrogen Communities that could contribute to the early adoption of hydrogen as a universal energy vector.
