EDEN - Portugal Vision 28 05 07

This document provides a vision for developing hydrogen energy in Portugal from 2020 to 2050. It outlines general energy challenges and policy goals for Portugal. Over time, hydrogen demand is expected to increase and be met through various production methods. In the early phase to 2020, small-scale production like electrolysis and gasification will provide hydrogen primarily for transportation. From 2020-2030, production will expand through larger electrolysis and gasification facilities to meet growing demand. After 2030, massive hydrogen production is envisioned using various domestic and imported resources to fuel transportation and heat buildings via a growing pipeline network and refueling stations.
