Deliverables

WP1 Project management and coordination

WP1 ensures the comprehensive management and coordination of LuxHyVal, establishing a robust framework that enables seamless implementation and collaboration throughout the project’s lifecycle. UL oversees scientific, technical, administrative, and financial management, acting as the main interface with the Clean Hydrogen JU. Tasks include rigorous risk management, ongoing progress assessment, and the organisation of regular meetings for partners and advisory boards. This work package also delivers a dynamic Data Management Plan, continuously reviewed to ensure adherence to open research, cybersecurity, and regulatory requirements. WP1 enforces high standards for gender inclusivity and ensures the effective collection, validation, and dissemination of knowledge generated, while building synergies with other EU projects and co-funding opportunities.

WP2 Business models, financial viability and inputs to regulation

WP2 develops robust business models and asset ownership schemes for the LuxHyVal infrastructure, vital for attracting investment and fostering commercial engagement. ENC leads scenario analyses and stakeholder consultations, evaluating techno-economic feasibility and supporting the design phase. The work also covers commercial negotiations, financing strategies (including private and public partnerships), and interfaces with regulatory authorities to propose improvements, ensuring the business case supports operational reliability and future upscaling. International green hydrogen markets and import opportunities are analysed, and findings are shared with the Clean Hydrogen JU and relevant government bodies.

WP3 Planning and design of the LuxHyVal infrastructure

WP3 covers all aspects of planning and detailed design required for a functional hydrogen valley: from electrolyser and storage sizing to system integration, connection to renewable energy assets, and the preparation of safety plans. PW guides this process, working with partners to iteratively refine heat and mass balances, equipment selection, and digital integration requirements. The WP delivers comprehensive technical documentation, defines interoperability standards, and ensures compliance with the latest codes and certifications for green hydrogen production. Stakeholder engagement informs the process, making sure all end-user needs are reflected in the final design.

WP4 Deployment and commissioning of the LuxHyVal Clean Hydrogen JU infrastructure

WP4 transitions LuxHyVal from plans to operational reality. PW leads the supervision of civil works, permitting, equipment installation, integration, and commissioning across all infrastructure components, ensuring all activities follow rigorous process safety protocols. This phase includes staff training, the execution of comprehensive risk assessments, and the preparation of operational manuals. Integration with the digital twin platform enables real-time data acquisition and lays the groundwork for validation and optimisation in subsequent work packages.

WP5 Operation and validation of LuxHyVal with production, storage, distribution and uses

WP5 manages and monitors operations across production, storage, distribution, and a range of industry and mobility end-uses. LEN remotely controls all assets, deploying advanced algorithms and digital tools for demand forecasting, safety management, and performance optimisation. Collaborative operation and validation at sites such as Ceratizit (metal industry), Guardian (glass industry), SLA, TICE and LUXM (mobility) support iterative improvement and collect robust data for environmental, commercial, and technical assessment. The digital twin is used for continual optimisation and real-time scenario analysis.

WP6 Comprehensive impact assessment and public acceptance

WP6 introduces a holistic assessment approach, measuring technical, economic, environmental, and social impacts. IZES coordinates impact assessment methodologies, validation of KPIs, and the execution of detailed life cycle analyses. The WP designs interventions to boost public understanding and acceptance via surveys, focus groups, and digital tools (including the digital twin). Special attention is paid to the environmental sustainability of the full value chain, including critical materials risk analysis, ensuring lessons learned inform both immediate improvements and replication guidelines.

WP7 Digital tools for optimisation, upscaling and replication

WP7 deploys a modular digital twin for LuxHyVal, enabling advanced simulation, scenario planning, and decision support. LIST engineers the platform to be vendor-neutral, integrates process and monitoring data, and supports both daily operation and strategic upscaling. The WP also prepares technical and economic feasibility studies for follower valleys in Central (CZ) and Eastern (UA) Europe, ensuring that processes, technology, and best practices can be adapted for other regions.

• D7.6 - LuxHyVal Replicability and Scalability Roadmap

WP8 Exploitation, dissemination and communication

WP8 maximises the impact and uptake of LuxHyVal’s results through a targeted exploitation, dissemination, and communication strategy. Led by R2M, the WP develops a strong project identity, manages internal and external communication tools, and coordinates wide-reaching engagement (including workshops, clustering with other EU initiatives, and tailored communication material for both technical and general audiences). The exploitation plan supports early market adoption and replication across regions, while the public-facing website and materials ensure transparency and knowledge transfer.
