Summary

The Government of Slovenia supported the establishment of a consortium of 18 companies, organizations and municipalities for an ecosystem for hydrogen from low-carbon sources. The group said it has 6,500 experts available from various fields and decades of experience in industrial engineering.
Hydrogen technology is emerging with its potential for storing energy from renewables and nuclear power plants, to be converted back to energy, including for transportation, or used in industrial processes. The Slovenia-Japan Business Council, the Slovenian Academy of Engineering (IAS or SAE) and ELES, the country’s electricity transmission and distribution system operator, formed a consortium of stakeholders.

The members see opportunities in introducing hydrogen city buses and utility vehicles, setting up hydrogen filling stations for commercial transportation and installing storage tanks for hydrogen or a mixture with fossil gas. They said they could upgrade gas turbines or install new ones for combined heat and power production from hydrogen. It can be used for district heating and aviation, the consortium underscored.
