"Hydrogen at some point in the future will replace fossil fuels that are responsible for the climate crisis we are experiencing", stressed the Secretary General of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Ministry of Environment and Energy, Aristotelis Aivaliotis, speaking a few hours ago at the second edition of the Hydrogen conference organized by DESFA at the Benaki Museum on "Hydrogen Networks: Turning vision into action."

As the government spokesman characteristically stressed, "in full accordance with the European framework, Greece recognizes the importance of hydrogen and that is why the legislative framework for the production, injection and use of hydrogen is currently being prepared. We are working on proposals for the regulatory framework that is currently missing, it has been going on for months and we are examining all aspects of it."

According to Mr. Aivaliotis, "we aspire by 2030 to produce 1.7 gigawatts of energy in Greece that will be directed to electrolysis and production of green hydrogen and up to 30 gigawatts in the year 2050. About 65% of our green hydrogen consumption will be consumed for synthetic hydrocarbon production for use in transport in 2035." He added that as part of the use of the money from the European Recovery Fund, "we submitted a plan for the subsidy with amounts of more than 50 million for green hydrogen and methane projects, with emphasis on the former.

The Secretary General of Energy and Mineral Resources concluded by saying that "we strongly support the green hydrogen projects that are coming and we will make sure to find the financial tools to carry out the necessary projects. We will do it firmly and faithfully. I am pleased that the National Natural Gas System Operator, DESFA, is taking this initiative to hold a conference on hydrogen networks, which lead us to the green transition, replacing a series of polluting fuels that contribute to the climate crisis to date.
