(MENAFN- AzerNews) Israel launched a comprehensive national plan to integrate
hydrogen into the country's energy landscape, the Israeli Ministry
of Energy and Infrastructure said in a statement on Monday,
Azernews reports citing Xinhua.
The plan is part of the ministry's target for a low-carbon
energy economy until 2050, with hydrogen having a wide variety of
uses for transportation, industry, electricity, and storage.
The multi-year plan includes the promotion of research and
development (R&D), regional hydrogen valleys, and other
infrastructure, the introduction of flexible regulation for
integrating hydrogen into the energy sector, and the integration
into the global hydrogen community.
R&D and demonstration projects will provide solutions to
major challenges in the field of hydrogen, such as the high costs,
logistical and safety issues, and the efficiency of the cycle of
production, storage, and use, the ministry noted.
The hydrogen valleys will cover a significant part of the
hydrogen value chain, from production technologies, through storage
and transportation to the final use in industry, transportation,
and energy sectors, it added.
The promotion of infrastructure will include the setup of
dedicated fueling stations, encouraging regional production of
green hydrogen, establishing underground hydrogen storage, and
testing the feasibility of transporting hydrogen in natural gas
pipelines.
International collaborations will help develop technologies and
reduce costs in the hydrogen value chain, create new trade
relations, and diversify available energy sources.
The ministry estimated that hydrogen demand for electricity,
heavy transportation, industry, aviation, and shipping in Israel in
2050 could reach up to 5.2 million tonnes.
