What type of hydrogen related actions can be funded Applicants must inform the European Commission in their project proposal about any related funding that they have received from the EU budget as well as any ongoing applications for funding from the EU budget. However, LIFE programme funding must not overlap with funding from other EU programmes. The LIFE programme may be combined with other sources of EU funding for example: to help bring such new technological solutions across the 'valley of death' and to the market. It is of particular relevance to hydrogen related projects (see details section). The Clean Energy Transition sub-programme is a new component of the LIFE programme, which was previously included in Horizon 2020. Climate change mitigation and adaptation.The LIFE programme 2021-2027 is divided into the following four sub-programmes Moreover, the programme aims to act as a catalyst for the large-scale deployment of successful technical and policy-related solutions by integrating related objectives into other policies and into public and private sector practices, by mobilising investment and by improving access to finance. It also supports the development, implementation, monitoring and enforcement of relevant Union legislation and policy, including by improving governance at all levels. In terms of specific objectives, the programme seeks to develop, demonstrate and promote innovative techniques, methods and approaches to reach EU environmental and climate goals. To date, LIFE has co-financed more than 5,000 projects. It contributes to the shift towards a clean, circular, energy efficient, climate-neutral and climate-resilient economy, including through the transition to clean energy, to protect and improve the quality of the environment. The LIFE programme 2021-2027 is the only EU funding programme entirely dedicated to environmental, climate and energy objectives.
