The Offshore Clean Hydrogen Production for Multi‑use Purposes project (OCEAN‑H2), developed within the framework of the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership led by the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Malta with the cooperation of UNINA, RISE, Fraunhofer ISIT, and UTBM, has received official recognition as a Decade Action under the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021–2030.

The endorsement granted by the Ocean Decade marks an important milestone for the consortium and confirms the scientific, technological and strategic relevance of the activities carried out within the project, highlighting the project’s contribution to advancing cutting‑edge research and strengthening collaboration among academic institutions, research organisations, and stakeholders in the marine and energy sectors.

The OCEAN‑H2 consortium welcomes this achievement with great satisfaction and renewed commitment, reaffirming its dedication to contributing meaningfully to a more sustainable future for the ocean and for the communities that depend on it.
