IPCEI Hy2 is a set of direct grants from Spain's IDAE, funded under the PRTR, that supports Spanish companies and research entities in European hydrogen value-chain projects across R&D and first industrial deployment. Grants are awarded by direct concession to promoters of already-selected Spanish projects, not through an open call for new applicants.
About this grant
The IPCEI Hy2 programme is a set of direct grants awarded by IDAE to Spanish projects that take part in the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) on hydrogen technology. The grants are funded under Component 9 of Spain's Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR), specifically Investment 1 'Renewable hydrogen: a country project', line 4, which corresponds to transformative measure 17 of the PERTE ERHA. That measure aims to integrate the national hydrogen value chain into European value chains by supporting Spanish companies in European consortia. The programme is delivered through three sub-programmes, each established by its own Royal Decree. IPCEI Hy2Tech (Royal Decree 4/2023, total grants of 74,000,000 euros) funds innovation in renewable and low-carbon hydrogen production, fuel cell use, and storage, transport and distribution. IPCEI Hy2Use (Royal Decree 663/2024, total grants of 794,000,000 euros) supports decarbonisation of industry through large-scale electrolysers at major industrial sites and related research. IPCEI Hy2Move (Royal Decree 47/2025, total grants of 142,910,000 euros) funds fuel cell components, on-board hydrogen storage and production technologies for road, maritime and aviation mobility. The page indicates that Spanish companies had to propose projects covering a phase of R&D+i and/or a first industrial deployment in one of the value-chain niches: production, storage, transport and distribution, industrial uses, mobility uses, or renewable hydrogen for grids. Grants are awarded by direct concession to the promoting entities of the Spanish projects within each IPCEI, so the page does not describe an open competitive call for new applicants.

Eligibility
Eligibility is limited to the promoting entities of Spanish projects that are part of the respective IPCEI Hy2Move, IPCEI Hy2Use or IPCEI Hy2Tech projects. The grants are awarded by direct concession under the relevant Royal Decree rather than through an open call, so applicants must already be part of an approved IPCEI project consortium. Companies had to have proposed projects within the hydrogen value-chain niches described on the page. The page does not state organisation-size, sector-wide or prior-recipient restrictions beyond these.
Key requirements
- ✓Applicants must be Spanish promoting entities of projects within an IPCEI Hy2 sub-programme (Hy2Tech, Hy2Use or Hy2Move).
- ✓Projects must cover an R&D+i phase and/or a first industrial deployment in a hydrogen value-chain niche (production, storage, transport and distribution, industrial or mobility uses, or renewable hydrogen for grids).
- ✓Grants are awarded by direct concession under specific Royal Decrees (RD 4/2023, RD 663/2024, RD 47/2025); there is no open competitive call for new applicants.

About this sector
Hydrogen and e-fuels funding supports electrolysers, production plants, storage, transport and end uses in industry, shipping and aviation. Support is often tied to low-carbon production standards and offtake from named users. Calls commonly ask for a site, a supply of renewable power and a consortium that covers production through to demand.
