National Energy and Climate Plan marks Greece's determination to switch to green energy
By Lalela Chrisanthopoulou
The target for green hydrogen production, the electrolysis capacity and the percentage of hydrogen mixing in the distributed gas has significantly increased compared to the original planning.
The new National Energy and Climate Plan signals Greece's ambition for new technologies that are considered important links in the "chain" of the green transition, such as hydrogen production and carbon capture and storage (CCS).
The target for green hydrogen production, the electrolysis capacity and the percentage of hydrogen mixing in the distributed gas has significantly increased compared to the original planning.
The total consumption of green hydrogen is estimated at 63.6 Terawatt-hours/year by 2050, but the largest proportion (about 70%) is estimated to be consumed for the production of synthetic hydrocarbons in transport.
The goal is to have created at least 26 hydrogen vehicle refueling stations by 2030, while they are expected to further increase taking into account the technological developments that will have taken place by then and which will show whether the future in heavy vehicles is indeed hydrogen or not.
