Subsequently, hydrogen will be used in high temperature fuel cells that will in turn provide electricity to the country's power grid as a base load co-generation unit of green energy and heat. The green hydrogen will then be stored directly (short-term hydrogen storage) and indirectly (injection to DESFA’s natural gas pipeline). The “White Dragon” project will use large-scale renewable electricity (GW) for the production of green hydrogen via electrolysis. The core of the project is based on the gradual replacement of the lignite power plants of Western Macedonia and the transition to clean energy systems, having as final goal the de-carbonization of the country's energy mix. At regional level, the project has also the support of the Cluster of Bioeconomy and Environment of Western Macedonia (CluBE). George Kasapidis, in September 2019 in Brussels. “White Dragon” is fully supported by the Region of Western Macedonia and is the result of the initial expression of interest that was endorsed by the Regional Governor of Western Macedonia, Mr. The total investment costs for the development of an innovative integrated green hydrogen project in Greece, which covers the entire hydrogen value chain, exceed the amount of 8 billion Euro. The proposal was submitted by a group of companies, composed of the largest energy groups in the country.ĭEPA Commercial, as the project coordinator, in collaboration with ADVENT TECHNOLOGIES, DAMCO ENERGY (Copelouzos Group), PPC, DESFA, HELLENIC PETROLEUM, MOTOR OIL, CORINTH PIPEWORKS, TAP and Terna Energy, submitted their investment proposal to the Greek Government and the EU. On Wednesday, May 5, the national project proposal “White Dragon” was submitted to the Greek call for expression of interest regarding Important Hydrogen Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI). ![]() ![]() Last week was extremely important for the hydrogen sector and the Greek energy system. Marks a milestone for energy transition through hydrogen technologies
