Technical requirements: 81294891-Identification et cartographie des sites/zones opportuns pour la production de l'H2 vert et de ses dérivés en Tunisie
Tunisia, due to its renewable energy potential, proximity to Europe, and qualified technical workforce, benefits from good conditions to become a PtX producer and exporter. The technical potential of renewable energies in Tunisia is sufficient to meet both domestic demand and to produce GH2 for export.
Against this backdrop, a new project H2Vert.TUN will be implemented by GIZ with the Tunisian ministry in charge of energy on behalf of the BMZ (German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development).
The overall objective of the project is to improve the framework conditions for the development of a value chain based on renewable energies for GH2 and its derivatives in Tunisia.
It is planned that the GIZ project under preparation is based on Four (4) strategic components, in alignment with the priorities of the Tunisian government during 3 years of duration, from 02/2022 until 01/2025:
Output: Qualified decision-making bases for improving strategic and regulatory framework conditions for a GH2 / Power-to-X economy in Tunisia are available to political decision-makers.
- Support the process of developing a national strategy for GH2, including the development of action plans and roadmaps for key areas
- Support the creation of an inter-departmental H2Vert national commission (political level) and an H2Vert council (including, for example, private sector, civil society and research).
- Support a national and regional consultation process, involving all stakeholders in government, private sector and civil society
- Advise on specific strategies and priorities for GH2 and its derivatives (e.g., ammonia, methanol) and international benchmarking to derive techno-economic recommendations for strategic planning documents
- Provide advice on improving the preconditions for the substantial expansion of Renewable Energies (RE) for GH2 production and cost reduction
Output: Companies in Tunisia are provided with a better basis for making decisions about investing in a GH2 / Power-to-X economy.
- Analysis of the investment conditions (and barriers) for the planning, risk assessment, implementation, and control of large public-private projects to produce GH2.
- Expert advice to national decision-makers to identify new financing mechanisms, in dialogue with research institutions, companies, industrial associations, engineering associations.
- Organizational advice to relevant actors for the creation of a Tunisian observatory as an information hub for global and national hydrogen trends.
