Imagine replacing dirty fossil fuels in heavy factories with a clean gas made from water and electricity. This project builds a regional network to produce, store, and move this green hydrogen to factories. It's like building a new, clean plumbing system for energy to help industries stop polluting.
Heavy industries in the South Marmara region rely on carbon-heavy grey hydrogen and fossil fuels for high-heat processes. This creates a conflict with the 2053 carbon neutrality goal and increases exposure to carbon taxes.
A 4MW PEM electrolyser system, a digital twin for production flexibility, a hydrogen-fueled ceramic kiln, and a Sodium Borohydride power supply plant.
If you are a glass manufacturer dealing with high carbon emissions from grey hydrogen — this project developed a replacement system that swaps grey hydrogen for green hydrogen to lower your environmental footprint.
If you are a ceramics company dealing with energy-intensive heating processes — this project developed a hydrogen-fueled kiln that replaces traditional fossil fuels in the firing process.
If you are a chemical plant dealing with the cost and pollution of grey hydrogen — this project developed a supply chain to integrate green hydrogen into your production line.
The project aims to install a PEM electrolyser with at least 4MW of power to produce 500 tonnes of hydrogen annually.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost per kg of hydrogen is not provided; however, feasibility reports for methanol and ammonia plants have been completed.
Based on available project data, there is no mention of specific patents or licensing terms, though a digital twin of the production system is being developed.
The detailed roadmap for the regional hydrogen economy is expected to be completed in 2025.
Integration is achieved by replacing grey hydrogen in glass and peroxide production and building a specialized hydrogen kiln for ceramics.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward industrial application, with 7 industry partners (47% of the group) and 5 universities. This balance suggests a strong focus on commercial viability and technical implementation rather than pure academic research. The collaboration spans 4 countries (DE, IT, MA, TR), providing a mix of European technical expertise and Turkish regional implementation.
