The project office was established at the end of 2021 by resolution of the RVR\u2019s association assembly and is intended to make the <strong>region\u2019s diverse hydrogen activities<\/strong> visible and to provide coordinating support for the implementation of the market ramp-up of the hydrogen economy.
