In an exclusive interview, Teodora Georgieva, the Executive Officer of ICGB, highlighted the potential of the Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria (IGB) pipeline to transport hydrogen as a blend, even in low percentages. The pipeline's alignment with the EU's clean energy goals and Bulgaria's climate commitments signals a step towards advancing hydrogen transport in Eastern Europe. While current studies show that small amounts of hydrogen can be integrated with natural gas, further infrastructure investments would be necessary for higher levels. ICGB is actively assessing market interest to gauge the demand for hydrogen transport services in the region. This evaluation will help align future projects with the European Hydrogen Backbone initiative, which aims to establish a cross-border hydrogen network in Europe. The collaboration between Bulgaria and Greece, along with planned interconnections, is expected to pave the way for cross-border hydrogen flow, enhancing energy resilience and accelerating decarbonization in Eastern Europe. The IGB pipeline, which connects with key gas transmission systems in Greece and Bulgaria, has the capacity to transport up to 3 billion cubic meters per year initially, with potential for expansion depending on market demand and neighboring systems' capabilities. The development of the IGB pipeline and its compatibility with hydrogen transportation represent a significant step towards a more sustainable and interconnected energy landscape in the region.
