South Marmara Hydrogen Shore - HYSouthMarmara

Country
Türkiye

South Marmara is the leading region in Turkey for green electricity generation through modern renewable technologies with 3 GW installed capacity. 87 % of more than 9.000 GWh green electricity generated in the region is coming from wind energy. The region has still a huge potential in wind, solar and biomass and the next step will be to produce green fuels in order to pave the way for reaching a net-zero economy which will be facilitated by “South Marmara Hydrogen Shore” H2 Valley Project.
