H2POSSE co-organized the fifth Vety -verkottamo
The city of Jyväskylä has organized hydrogen networking events called Vety -verkottamo. The fifth Vety -verkottamo was organized at VTT Jyväskylä right after the first H2POSSE steering group kick-off meeting on September 23, 2025. The event gathered together 40 participants from R&D&I organizations, municipalities and companies.
H2POSSE project was presented at the event, as well as several other VTTs’ hydrogen related projects and knowhow. Moreover, Fortum and Cefmof, both partners in H2POSSE project gave presentations as well as Marko Pakarinen from Meri-Porin kuormaus Oy. Participants were able to visit VTTs’ hydrogen production and storage pilot infrastructure, discuss and network. Let’s see where and when is the next Vety -verkottamo?

H2POSSE project kickoff meeting was held in the 23rd of September 2025
The kick-off meeting for the Hydrogen Production Optimization, Storage Systems, and Ecosystem development (H2POSSE) project was held on September 23, 2025, at VTT in Jyväskylä, Finland. The meeting was attended by representatives from various companies and organizations, both in-person and online.
The H2POSSE project (Hydrogen Production Optimization, Storage Systems, and Ecosystem Development) is a major initiative led by VTT and the University of Jyväskylä, co-funded by the European Union . The project develops advanced hydrogen production and storage solutions tailored for transportation, using innovative bio-metal organic frameworks and bio-based carbon adsorbents. Moreover, H2POSSE is actively participating in building a comprehensive hydrogen ecosystem in Central Finland.
During the meeting an overview of the H2POSSE project was presented, and the work packages were presented by various members of the project team. Representatives from partner stakeholders also gave their comments and raised questions about the project including e.g. the hydrogen quality and monitoring and technical specifications of the hydrogen production and storage units.
The H2POSSE project is seen as a very important R&D project combining hydrogen production, storage and ecosystem development. Strong collaboration between the project partners, VTT and University of Jyväskylä as research institutions, Cefmof, Fortum Power and Heat Oy, Andritz AG and Elomatic Consulting & Engineering supporting the project with their valuable insights and co-funding the project and Jyväskylä, Laukaa, Jämsä, Äänekoski and Pihtipudas providing information of the possibilities of hydrogen economy at municipal level forms good basis for successful project.
