Hamburg-based company H2Energy Solutions Ltd., which focuses on consulting and project development around the production and use of green hydrogen, published an extensive hydrogen initiative for the Turkish market.

H2Energy Solutions claims that climatic conditions and the good expansion of regenerative energy generation - especially wind and solar energy - as favorable unique selling points for the production of green hydrogen in Turkey. 

In addition, the paper identifies the following core areas as groundbreaking:

• Production and export of green hydrogen 
• Development of Hydrogen Centers and E-Mobility/Hydrogen Corridors
• Dissemination of Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles
• Establishing and Strengthening Local Power Supply
• Creation of a Logistic Network for the Distribution of Hydrogen
• Expansion of Turkey as a Supra-Regional Hydrogen Technology Hub
• Use of Green Synthetic Gas as a Substitute for Natural Gas 

The company proposes the construction of e-mobility/hydrogen corridors and ten hydrogen hubs along the whole of Turkey, which should provide an adequate charging infrastructure for both BEVs and FCEVs. For this purpose, two hydrogen filling stations are to be built by 2023, five (located in Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir) by 2025 and even up to twenty by 2030 throughout the country. Since the mobility sector accounts for around 25% of Turkey's total energy needs, this is a relevant area to start decarbonizing the country.
