Bulgartransgaz, a natural gas transmission system operator, launched a non-binding market demand assessment survey for hydrogen transmission capacity. The company informed market participants – producers, shippers and consumers of the opportunity to submit, by 15 September, their non-binding demand indications for hydrogen transmission capacity. The results of the study will show market participants’ interest in the potential use of hydrogen as part of the future energy mix.
The non-binding survey and its coordination with the neighboring operators will facilitate the timely planning of the required infrastructure, the company said. The survey will identify the expected demand for hydrogen transmission capacity, the potential production sites in Bulgaria and the exit points for end users. The results will also contribute to the timely planning and construction of the necessary infrastructure for the transmission of hydrogen to and through Bulgaria.
