         The main objective of the procurement is to develop business cases and implementation plans for various hydrogen and fuel cell solutions, in markets for which public authorities act as the primary demand. Considering that regions and cities are key drivers in the implementation of initiatives to de-carbonise local energy and transport systems, the FCH 2 JU considers an enhanced coordination of priorities and activities with European regions and cities as a key step to achieve the JU"s goals. Besides this important aspect, it is clear that public authorities at the regional and local level represent an important market opportunity for a wide range of low or zero emission products, as many such authorities are becoming increasingly ambitious in their plans to decarbonise over the coming years and are looking for advanced products that will help them implement these plans. In this context, hydrogen and fuel cells are emerging as key enabling technologies, uniquely addressing the challenge of drastic reductions in CO2 emissions for final use in heating, power generation, industry and transport.
