This strategic move aligns with the nation’s commitment to combatting emissions in hard-to-abate sectors such as transportation, shipping, and industries. The nation’s new National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) maps out a bold trajectory, with goals encompassing hydrogen production, integration, and distribution, while also capitalizing on the country’s strategic position for international hydrogen trade.
At the heart of Greece’s energy transformation lies the ambitious target of installing 1.7 GW of electrolyzers by 2030, culminating in the production of 135,000 tons of green hydrogen. Looking further ahead, the NECP envisions an even grander goal of 30.6 GW of electrolyzers by 2050, producing a staggering 2.3 million tons of green hydrogen annually. This transformation is poised to revolutionize the nation’s energy sector while contributing significantly to global emission reduction efforts.
A pivotal component of Greece’s transition strategy involves blending green hydrogen with natural gas, aiming to curtail emissions and ensure cleaner fuel consumption. The plan envisions an incremental rise in the proportion of green hydrogen mixed with natural gas, reaching 5.6% by 2030 and a more ambitious 15.4% by 2050. This shift necessitates collaborative efforts with gas suppliers, who will be mandated to progressively increase the hydrogen content.
Crucially, Greece is prepared to adapt its existing energy infrastructure to accommodate hydrogen seamlessly. The Ministry of Environment and Energy, along with operator DESFA, affirm that little investment is needed to make the national gas network hydrogen-ready. The integration of hydrogen into existing pipelines and projects like Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) and Interconnector Greece Bulgaria (IGB) bolsters the nation’s readiness for this transformative journey.
While Greece’s hydrogen vision paints an inspiring future, challenges have surfaced on the path to realization. The White Dragon project, initially ambitious in scale, faced funding hurdles and was deferred to a later stage. Nevertheless, green hydrogen initiatives such as Advent Technologies’ Green HiPo project and Refiner Motor Oil’s IRIS project showcase success stories in securing investments and capturing CO2 for sustainable use.
George Chatzimarkakis, CEO of Hydrogen Europe, envisions Greece’s potential as a regional hub for hydrogen trade and production. With the right policies and strategies in place, the nation can become a driving force in the evolving hydrogen landscape. As Greece charts its course towards hydrogen integration, a national strategy is being developed to offer investors visibility and ensure the journey remains steadfast. However, past delays in similar initiatives serve as a reminder of the need for caution.

• 24/7 ZEN European project, budgeted at €5.5 million with an implementation schedule 2023-2026, concerns the design and development of a high performance reversible Solid Oxide Cell power balancing unit of scale 33 kW (Fuel Cell) /100 kW (electrolyzer) and its compatibility with electricity and natural gas networks. The pilot unit will take place at the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas'' (EKETA) facilities in Thessaloniki, aiming to produce and store green hydrogen and potentially injecting it into the natural gas network.
• CluBE, submitted a proposal which is at the stage of signing the cooperation agreement with the EU for the design, installation, and operation of the first multi-vehicle Hydrogen Refueling Station in Greece at the Kozani Industrial zone. The implementation steps include the production of green hydrogen from electrolysis via PPA at the same refueling site, its use at the refueling station and its innovative transport with carbon fiber cylinders.
• 100MW Green hydrogen production unit with potential for a boost to 200MW (production by electrolysis), at Amydeo, Florina state. The project is managed by Hellenic Hydrogen, a consortium between Motor Oil and PPC Renewables. The facility is planned to produce annual hydrogen amounts of 12,600 tons and is expected to be in operation by 2027.
• EU’s approval of the €780 million investment plan (Green HiPo) of the U.S. firm Advent Technologies in September 2022 aims to establish a hydrogen cell production plant, creating an estimated 650 jobs upon completion. Green HiPo, which is part of the Hy2Tech program, aims to facilitate the development of hydrogen technologies in Greece. Next steps will be to create the development facilities on Advent production lines in Kozani, western Macedonia to design and implement the fuel cell systems with a total produced electrical power of 400 MW and thermal power of 4.65 GW.
• H2Crete Valley project (https://h2v /hydrogen-valleys/h2crete-valley-project ) will install a Green hydrogen production plant of 100 MW at Atherinolakos area, Crete Island - developed by ProEuropean Trading GmbH.
• Study on the utilization of sewage sludge for hydrogen production and its use by garbage/waste trucks as fuel. The project is implemented by DIADYMA and is at the stage of completion of the studies. The pilot project will be installed in the former Kardias Lignite Mine of Kozani, in the central premises of DIADYMA and its study is financed by the Green Fund.

The Greek National Energy and Climate Plan published in 2019 (“NECP”)¹ sets out the objectives, policies and measures for the achievement of Greece''s energy and climate goals by 2030.
The implementation of hydrogen solutions may contribute especially to the following goals:
In this context, new applications and technologies for the generation of power from RES, such as the production of hydrogen, will likely be assessed through pilot projects.
