The Petroleum Pipeline Corporation (BOTAŞ) in Turkey is set to benefit from a €3 million technical assistance project launched by the European Union (EU) aimed at promoting the development of a green and low-carbon hydrogen ecosystem in the country. The 'Boosting Green and Low-Carbon Hydrogen in Turkey' project seeks to enhance institutional capacity, provide training, technical support, and conduct assessments on the infrastructure readiness of BOTAŞ to accommodate hydrogen for storage. Additionally, the project will involve the preparation of reports, studies, and analyses to further the understanding and utilization of green hydrogen. The EU has opened a tender for interested parties to participate in the project through the Funding & Tenders Portal, with a deadline set for July 15. The overall objective is to formulate a comprehensive hydrogen master network plan in Turkey, emphasizing the importance of transitioning towards sustainable energy sources like green hydrogen.
