Green Light Fuels
The transition to green fuels in SE Europe is gaining momentum as countries in the region work to reduce their carbon footprint and improve energy security, supported by a mix of EU regulations, investments in renewable energy projects and regional collaborations. However, overcoming infrastructure, investment, and policy challenges will be essential to fully realize the potential of green fuels in the region.
It is worth noting that IENE organized a two-day high-level online conference in 2021 in order to look into the role of Green Liquid Fuels in the Energy Transition. Distinguished speakers presented the framework and the need, the vision and the strategy, as well as a number of innovative projects that have already been announced, covering a wide spectrum of fuels’ needs for decarbonizing the entire transport sector and examining alternative applications in the broader energy sector.

Hydrogen
Hydrogen and electricity are both carbon free energy carriers that can be produced from fossil energy resources as well as from renewable energy sources. Lately, hydrogen is becoming an area of great interest for IENE. Hydrogen and electricity are both carbon free energy carriers that can be produced from fossil energy resources as well as from renewable energy sources.
Technically and efficiently producing hydrogen from renewable energy sources is a key enabler for the development of a unique energy resource base that provides low or zero emission energy to all energy consuming sectors.
Currently, the technology of choice for producing renewable ‘green’ hydrogen is water electrolysis using renewable electricity. This is an area of continuous engagement for IENE, which is pursuing its study and possible applications in the SEE region in close cooperation with industry and academic research centers.
