Technical requirements: 81295812-Réalisation d'études de préfaisabilité détaillée pour la production d'hydrogène 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 green hydrogen 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).
It is planned that the GIZ project under preparation is based on three (3) 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 green hydrogen / Power-to-X economy in Tunisia are available to political decision-makers.
- Support the process of developing a national strategy for green hydrogen, 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 green hydrogen and its derivatives (e.g. ammonia, methanol) and international benchmarking to derive techno-economic recommendations for strategic planning documents
- Analyze the existing legal and regulatory framework conditions to create a green hydrogen economy in Tunisia
- Provide advice on improving the preconditions for the substantial expansion of Renewable Energies (RE) for green H2 production and cost reduction
- Support the integration of the future production and transport of green H2 in the long-term planning of infrastructure expansion (electricity and gas networks).
Output: Companies in Tunisia are provided with a better basis for making decisions about investing in a green hydrogen / Power-to-X economy.
- Analysis of the investment conditions (and barriers) for the planning, risk assessment, implementation, and control of large public-private projects for the production of green hydrogen.
- Expert advice to national decision-makers to identify new financing mechanisms, in dialogue with research institutions, companies, industrial associations, engineering associations.
