Transgaz to assess hydrogen transmission needs in Romania

August 8 (SeeNews) – Romania’s natural gas transmission company Transgaz [BSE:TGN] has launched a non-binding market demand assessment process to gauge the potential for hydrogen transmission capacity in the country, it said.

“We encourage all potential hydrogen producers, consumers and shippers to submit their demand indicating the production, consumption, import, export as well as the crossborder hydrogen transmission demand via Romania,” Transgaz said in a press release last week.

The submitted demand for hydrogen transmission capacity could help shape the future development of hydrogen infrastructure in Romania, Transgaz explained. The assessment process is related to the future interconnection points and the future Romanian points of production and points of exit to the consumers of hydrogen.

Transgaz will publish the results within its market demand assessment reports not later than November 1.

Transgaz’s shares traded 0.78% higher at 18.1lei ($4/3.65 euro) as of 1347 CET on Tuesday on the Bucharest Stock Exchange.
