Водородно бъдеще за България: Национална пътна карта за подобряване на условията за разгръщане на потенциала за развитие на водородните технологии и механизмите за производство и доставка на водород
The Bulgarian hydrogen roadmap is framed the context of achieving climate targets, reducing GHG emissions and enabling more effective utilisation of renewable energy resources. Strategic goals of the strategy are the use of hydrogen for decarbonisation and as an alternative of other energy sources and development of capacity to use hydrogen technologies. The strategy also has four operational goals:
1. Support the integration of technologies for production, transport and use of green hydrogen in industry, energy and transport;
2. Intensification of research and innovations;
3. Development of conditions for education and training for new professions in relation to hydrogen technologies;
4. EU and international cooperation.
The roadmap is applicable for the 2023-2026 period.
PRODUCTION
On production, pilot installations for green hydrogen production will be financed under the national recovery and resilience plan, as well as the development of hydrogen valleys. An analysis will be carried out to evaluate and define RFNBO production zones.
TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION
Measures in relation to transmission and distribution include analyses on the hydrogen export potential, the future of natural gas transmission and distribution networks and identification of potential storage sites for hydrogen. The regulatory framework will be developed in relation to access to the grid for biogas and hydrogen.
EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
On education, identification of current and future professions needed will be carried out, followed by development of educational standards and plans for the former. The training of personnel in higher education will be supported. Research and development on hydrogen will focus on its integration in energy systems, storage and transport, retrofitting in mobility, and end-use applications in industry and synthetic fuels production.
CROSS-CUTTING
Cross-cutting measures focus on the improvement of administrative capacity through the development of a hydrogen project guideline for developers; implementation of an ‘one-stop-shop’ system; training of public administration and local authorities on hydrogen and of first responders on hydrogen safety. Information materials will also be developed for the general public. European and international cooperation is to take place via participation in European-funded projects.
END-USES
Mobility
To stimulate hydrogen mobility, financial mechanisms for fuel-switching and FCEV purchases will be developed. A deployment plan for the first 20 HRS will be formed, with identification of priority locations. The regulatory regime on hydrogen transport and alternative fuels infrastructure deployment will be updated.
Industry
To stimulate the switch to renewable hydrogen in industry a system of quotas will be developed with regulatory targets, following European legislation.
Energy
Electricity market rules will be adapted to enable PtX integration in the electricity market.
