Abstract
ELEGANCY was an ERA-Net Cofund ACT project with the aim to help fast-tracking the decarbonization of Europe’s
energy system via hydrogen and CCS. This has been achieved by overcoming or highlighting specific scientific,
technological and economic/legal barriers and by undertaking five national case studies adapted to the conditions in
the partner countries Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland and the UK. ELEGANCY had 22 partners from
industry and academia/research. This paper gives a brief overview of the project and some main results.
