Vilnius Heat Networks Paving the Way for Sustainable Transport with Green Hydrogen
Key Ideas
- Positive EIA conclusion received for Vilnius green hydrogen production project, aiming to replace 16 diesel buses and save 1414 tons of CO2 emissions annually.
- Green hydrogen plant to be built on VŠT territory, producing hydrogen using RES and planning to completely abandon fossil fuels in heat production by 2030.
- Project to supply green hydrogen for public transport and public access, utilizing waste heat for district heating water preparation and optimizing existing infrastructure for sustainability.
- Design work for green hydrogen production facilities to begin soon, with production expected to start next year, aligning with Vilnius' goal to become a climate-neutral city by 2030.
AB Vilnius heat networks (VŠT) in Vilnius, Lithuania, has received a positive Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) conclusion for their green hydrogen production project aimed at sustainable public transport. The project, utilizing renewable energy sources (RES), will produce green hydrogen to replace 16 diesel buses, saving 1414 tons of CO2 emissions annually. This initiative aligns with the city's goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2030. The green hydrogen plant will not only supply Vilnius public transport but also provide access to the public. It will leverage waste heat for district heating water preparation, maximizing infrastructure efficiency. The company plans to use the wastewater generated during hydrogen production and collect waste heat to produce energy as sustainably as possible.
