Subsidy scheme for hydrogen in mobility (SWIM)

Client: Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management

The Hydrogen in Mobility Subsidy Scheme (SWiM) supports companies that invest in hydrogen in a consortium. The partnership - a consortium - consists at least of a hydrogen filling station operator and a company active in transport. This is a national scheme of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.

Ekinetix provided consultancy in the development of the scheme, based on detailed sector knowledge. In addition, Ekinetix developed the numerical basis for the subsidy scheme. This is a foundation for determining grants and scoring.

The aim of the scheme is to stimulate growth of supply and demand simultaneously. Eligible applications are: transport and distribution sector (including SMEs), hydrogen filling station operators, shippers (manufacturers transporting their goods), passenger transport (buses and wheelchair transport with at least 5 seats).
