HyLAW

HyLAW stands for Hydrogen Law and focuses on the removal of legal barriers to the deployment of fuel cells and hydrogen applications. It is a agship project aimed

at boosting the market uptake of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies providing market developers with a clear view of the applicable regulations whilst calling the attention of policy makers on legal barriers to be removed. The project brings together 23 partners from across Europe and is coordinated by Hydrogen Europe.

The HyLAW partners will rst identify the legislation and regulations relevant to fuel cell and hydrogen applications and legal barriers to their commercialisation. They will then provide public authorities with country speci c benchmarks and recommendations on how to remove these barriers. HyLAW main outputs will be:

1. 1)  An online and publicly available database compiling legal and administrative processes applicable to hydrogen and fuel cell technologies in 18 countries across Europe
2. 2)  National policy papers describing each legal and administrative process, highlighting best practices, legal barriers and providing policy recommendations
3. 3)  Apan-Europeanpolicypapertargetedtowards European decision makers
4. 4)  NationalandEuropeanworkshopsfordissemination of the ndings and convincing public authorities to remove barriers

HyLAW started in January 2017 and will run until December 2018. The database will be maintained by Hydrogen Europe for a minimum three years after the end of the project.
