As part of the European H2MOVE project, a call for tenders has been launched to identify a specialist service provider to assist with technical studies relating to the integration of hydrogen into port activities. This initiative, supported by the Capenergies competitiveness cluster, is part of an operational phase of the project, dedicated to the concrete analysis of decarbonisation solutions.
Funded by the Interreg Italy-France Maritime 2021-2027 programme, the H2MOVE project aims to meet the challenges of energy transition in port areas by developing innovative solutions based on green hydrogen, while strengthening the resilience and competitiveness of cross-border territories.
EXPERTISE MOBILISED TO SUPPORT THE ENERGY TRANSITION
Capenergies is a leading player in the field of low-carbon energies, bringing together a large network of companies, research centres and institutions committed to the energy transition. Through this call, the cluster is mobilising this ecosystem to identify expertise capable of supporting the project at a key stage: assessing the conditions for deploying hydrogen in port environments.
The assignment entrusted to the successful contractor will involve carrying out technical and economic feasibility studies, with the aim of identifying port uses that can be decarbonised using hydrogen, particularly in contexts where energy consumption is high.
AN APPROACH STRUCTURED AROUND TWO AREAS OF STUDY
The expected work will be organised around two complementary strands. The first will focus on analysing high-power stationary uses in ports, in order to identify the opportunities and constraints associated with integrating hydrogen solutions. The second will focus on maritime and river-maritime mobility, in particular for passenger and freight transport.
These studies will be carried out in coordination with the project partners, with a cross-border approach, to ensure that the work is consistent throughout the Italy-France Maritime area.
HOW TO APPLY
This call for tenders is aimed at organisations with proven expertise in the fields of energy, hydrogen and technical and economic studies. Interested service providers are invited to submit their bids in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the specifications, which are available to download.
The deadline for receipt of applications is 18 May 2026 at 5pm.
