The overarching goal of transfer research is to transfer the knowledge gained from the living labs to science, business, society and politics. At the same time, the findings are to be made usable. This also includes the identification of measures for the further devel-opment of suitable instruments to achieve the goals of the funding initiative. As the consortium’s legal project partner, the Stiftung Umweltenergierecht (Foundation for Environmental Energy Law) conducts the legal analyses of the issues concerning hydrogen that arise in the project. Among other things, the national and European regulatory framework conditions for hydrogen technologies in the areas of production, (grid-based) distribution and application will be examined. In addition, the current and future business models in connection with hydrogen along the value chain will be legally evaluated. Regulatory gaps and inconsistent legislation will be identified and, if necessary, regulatory adaptation options in the legal framework will be developed. The findings will be used to synthesise and formulate options for action and to communicate them to science, business, politics and society.
