Slovenia’s Plinovodi, local firms team up in hydrogen initiative
April 7 (SeeNews) – Slovenia’s gas transmission system operator, Plinovodi, said it has signed an agreement with over 50 local companies to set up a hydrogen consortium to connect Slovenia to the Central European hydrogen space, providing industry with competitive conditions for a decarbonized future.
Plinovodi said in a press release on Thursday,
The SloH2U consortium represents a systemic response from Slovenian industrial consumers to the need for restructuring for the use of hydrogen and renewable gases,
The inclusion of more than two-thirds of local industrial gas consumers based on gas usage clearly shows that Slovenia is seriously prepared to achieve European decarbonization goals, Plinovodi added.
The SloH2U consortium initiated by Plinovodi is connecting key stakeholders in industry, energy, and the state, with the aim of achieving a coordinated, technically feasible, and timely transition to a decarbonized future.
The consortium is a concrete foundation for the development of user infrastructure, specific pilot projects, and integration into the European hydrogen ecosystem, said Matija Bitenc, a member of the executive board and deputy general manager at Plinovodi.
