The Slovenian Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Energy has invited bids for preparing a draft action plan to achieve the hydrogen targets from the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP). The document is intended to guide the development of hydrogen technologies in Slovenia until 2030, with an outlook to 2040.

Hydrogen is expected to help decarbonize sectors such as industrial production, transportation, and energy. The action plan must clearly define strategic goals, measures, and projects for introducing hydrogen, including cross-sectoral integration (power-to-X solutions), according to the public call.

The drafting of the action plan is partly financed by the European Union as part of the North Adriatic Hydrogen Valley (NAHV) project, a joint effort by partners from Slovenia, Croatia, and Italy, the ministry said. The NAHV is expected to start producing hydrogen by the end of 2026.

The document is intended to provide guidelines for the development of infrastructure, support policies, and incentive measures that would enable the gradual development of the hydrogen ecosystem in Slovenia. It must also define a timeline and provide cost estimates. Its purpose is to define a comprehensive, coordinated, and feasible set of measures, the ministry said.

The plan should also include an analysis of existing hydrogen strategies in the EU; an overview of existing hydrogen initiatives and projects in Slovenia; recommendations for technical, political, financial, legal, and regulatory feasibility; and an analysis of environmental and socio-economic impacts.

Bids are accepted until July 17, while the deadline for completing the job is 10 months from signing the contract, according to the public call.
