FENR will share with project partners their insights and experience with WIGA P&G HyWest valley in Austria and provide support and guidance to the consortium throughout the developmental stages of the project. FENR will also participate in the design of the communication and dissemination strategy for the project's outcomes, working closely with the NTUA and manage the project's website in collaboration with the project coordinator MOH.​

The University of Groningen (RUG) will be responsible for the logistics’ aspects of the physical and virtual hydrogen transport infrastructure. Therefore, RUG will deliver preliminary studies, methodologies, and a final report on logistical models.

OLYMPIA ODOS as the operator of the motorway that connects Attika region with western Peloponnese, will demonstrate the use of hydrogen-powered vehicles for its operational activities and will also contribute to safety studies for hydrogen transport along the TEN-T network, especially for the part under its responsibility.​

Road Transport S.A. (OSY) is the company responsible for providing public utility services under the supervision of the Greek Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport. It will study the optimal pathway to own and operate a fleet of FCEV urban buses according to its strategic plan, as well as test and demonstrate its capability to operate the first 3 FCEV urban buses in Greece, within Athens metropolitan area​.

Following PPA’s lead, the Port of Larnaca will plan its prospective studies in Cyprus, in collaboration with OEB (and the Hydrogen Association of Cyprus). This collaboration aims to replicate selected activities and applications from the TRIERES valley.

HYDRUS will oversee the comprehensive spectrum of project activities related to hydrogen end-use applications, encompassing road and maritime transport, industrial applications, and the energy sector. In collaboration with ECOFERRY, HYDRUS will deliver the first short-distance hydrogen-powered ship in Greece, focusing on maritime transport.​

Corinth Canal (AEDIK) is the company responsible for the exploitation of management rights upon the Corinth canal, to ensure its smooth, continuous, and safe operations and will participate in studies for the retrofit of its tugboats and pilot boats to run on hydrogen as a fuel source.

Dioriga Gas (DG), the developer of the FSRU LNG import terminal in the wider area of the industrial asset in Agioi Theodoroi, Corinth, will study hydrogen injection into the national natural gas grid and perform simulations for different operation scenarios. This activity has upward dynamics as it can develop into the future hydrogen backbone across the country and therefore to connect with the wider EU hydrogen pipeline network.​

LPC, as an industrial user, will demonstrate the supply and use of renewable hydrogen to its lubricant refinery.

As an industrial user specialized in the production of vital technological components for projects such as offshore wind cables and pipelines, FULGOR S.A. will explore the utilization of hydrogen for the reindustrialization of its operations through the physical pipeline.

Public Power Corporation (PPC) will study the optimal integration of RES into the valley, it will identify specific supply needs and commercial challenges, and it will facilitate effective communication with organizations participating in Hydrogen Europe.

Hellenic Corporation of Assets and Participations S.A. (HCAP) - Growthfund, as the National Investment Fund of Greece that manages an extensive portfolio of assets, will contribute to the development of business models, expansion studies for the valley, and examination of the challenges in public governance for the future growth of TRIĒRĒS. It will also investigate the replicability of certain results in various ports within the TEN-T network and on short distance routes in Greece.​

The Region of Peloponnese (REP) and the Municipality of Loutraki (MOL) will collaborate on public governance issues and they will also support local/regional structures.

NOVA, based on its relevant expertise, will create a digital twin model for monitoring and optimizing the operations of the TRIĒRĒS valley.​

Hydrogen Egypt (H2EG), an Egyptian national hydrogen association, will explore opportunities to further unlock the potential of TRIĒRĒS valley as a gateway to Europe for renewable hydrogen from Egypt. H2EG's involvement will focus on monitoring project results, knowledge exchange, and identifying prospects for expanding the inaugural Greek hydrogen valley.​

The New Energy Coalition (NEC) will ensure the substantial and continuous collaboration of the TRIĒRĒS Valley with HEAVENN valley in the North Netherlands and provide support to emerging regions of special interest to mature their efforts for Valley development.

The Cyprus Employers & Industrialists Federation OEB, following PPA’s lead, will help to plan the prospective studies for the Port of Larnaca (POL)(and in collaboration with the Hydrogen Association of Cyprus). This collaboration aims to replicate selected activities and applications from TRIERES valley.
