Eighteen Slovenian companies, organizations and municipalities have signed a consortium agreement stipulating the formation of a consortium that will deal with the development of a hydrogen ecosystem from low-carbon sources.
Various criteria show that this is the strongest consortium ever founded in this country in terms of competence.
The official website of the municipality of Ajdovščina, which is part of the consortium, states that the Slovenian-Japanese Business Council, the Engineering Academy of Slovenia and ELES are forming a consortium of stakeholders to expedite the wider use of hydrogen as a sustainable fuel of the future. The consortium gathers more than 6,500 experts from electrical engineering, transportation, environment, oil and gas industry, automotive industry, mechanical engineering and other branches.
Some of the consortium’s main goals are setting up the first hydrogen production facilities, testing technologies for the storage, transfer and distribution of hydrogen, using hydrogen in industrial processes, using hydrogen in the production of heat or electricity and logistics and public transport.

The consortium will initially determine a set of potential projects that can be implemented in an appropriately coordinated manner in a technological partnership, which will lay the foundation of an integrated low-carbon hydrogen ecosystem in Slovenia.
This intersectoral integration is also supported by the government ministries in Slovenia, namely the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, the Ministry of Environment, Climate and Energy, the Ministry of Economy, Tourism and Sport and the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Innovation.
