The Romanian Ministry of Energy today announced a new tender titled “Development and Implementation of Hydrogen Infrastructure Projects.”
The tender was published on August 6, 2024, and the deadline for submission of tenders is August 29, 2024. The primary objective of this tender is to attract bids for the development of comprehensive hydrogen infrastructure across Romania. This includes the establishment of hydrogen production facilities, storage units, and distribution networks. The Ministry of Energy aims to create a robust hydrogen supply chain to support both domestic energy needs and potential export opportunities.
To be eligible for consideration, bidders must demonstrate experience in renewable energy projects and provide a detailed plan that includes projected costs, timelines, and environmental impact assessments. Additionally, the tender calls for innovative approaches to hydrogen production, such as electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources like wind and solar, ensuring that the hydrogen produced is green and sustainable.
A key technical requirement involves the use of advanced electrolysis technologies capable of producing hydrogen at high efficiency and low cost. This technological stipulation is crucial as it ensures the economic viability of hydrogen as a green energy source. The Ministry is particularly interested in solutions that minimize energy consumption and maximize output, a critical factor for the competitiveness of green hydrogen.
Interested parties must submit their proposals by the August 29, 2024 deadline.
