Introduction

Please find the HyER Newsletter as we would like to start sending out next year, including news form HyER Member Regions, EU Policy News, and Events. We therefore appreciate your input and hope you will increasingly use the website to update your Region’s section, so we could include your news as well.  The website has been upgraded to allow more interaction and links to other web communities as well as higher rankings in search engines. This will facilitate more visibility of our activities and the developments in the HyER. member regions and municipalities.

Ramping up the first year of official activities it is clear that in a very short time HyER has been able to establish itself as a recognized stakeholder in ensuring sustainable market development in Europe and the importance of regional and local involvement . Entering a crucial decade for hydrogen and fuel cell commercialisation HyER is committed to increase its support to allow regions and municipalities to align themselves with the right EU support programmes that ensure a steady growth in local hydrogen infrastructure development, increased involvement of local SME’s and authorisation officials,  build consumer awareness and develop standardised education and training programmes.

We wish a lovely holiday season and wonderful 2010.

From Brussels,

The HyER Team
