The tender offers maximum prices of 127 \u20ac\/MWh for renewable hydrogen and 62 \u20ac\/MWh for biomethane.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tenders for the public gas network<\/h2>\n\n<p>To ensure the transparency and competitiveness of the process, it will be regulated by three phases: <strong>Qualification, bidding and awarding<\/strong>. A tender volume of up to 150 GWh\/year for biomethane and 120 GWh\/year for hydrogen has been established, with participation open to all organizations that meet the established requirements.<\/p>\n\n<p>In addition,<strong> the auction has been designed to facilitate the integration of renewable gases<\/strong> into the public gas infrastructure, working closely with the National Gas Transmission Network and the National Gas Distribution Network. This initiative is part of Portugal&#8217;s climate objective and seeks to ensure the competitive acquisition of these gases to strengthen its energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n<p>For example, in 2022, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 partnered with Capwatt to carry out a hydrogen blending project in Maia, Portugal. This project would test up to 10% volume of green hydrogen in a natural gas fuel mixture. That same year, the companies signed a new agreement to integrate hydrogen into Capwatt&#8217;s natural gas-fired combined heat and power (CHP) units, with an installed capacity of approximately 160 MW.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The approval of the European Council<\/h2>\n\n<p>The launch of the tender in Portugal coincides with the recent approval by the European Council of the gas and hydrogen market package. <strong>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/hydrogen-gas-pipeline-norway-and-germany\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"150778\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gas and hydrogen market package<\/a>\n<\/strong>which seeks to establish rules for a more environmentally friendly EU hydrogen market.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Follow us on social networks and don&#8217;t miss any of our publications!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@inspenet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/inspenetnetwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/inspenetnetwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/inspenet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Inspenetnetwork\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">X<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source<\/strong>: <strong>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.h2-view.com\/story\/portugal-opens-tender-for-hydrogen-blending-in-gas-network\/2110596.article\/?utm_source=h2v&amp;utm_medium=rss_feed&amp;utm_campaign=rss\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.h2-view.com\/story\/portugal-opens-tender-for-hydrogen-blending-in-gas-network\/2110596.article\/?utm_source=h2v&amp;utm_medium=rss_feed&amp;utm_campaign=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">H2 View<\/a>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Photo: Shutterstock<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The auction is designed to facilitate the integration of renewable gases into the public gas infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8404,"featured_media":160191,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13026,13036],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-160212","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-energy","categoria_noticias-oil-and-gas"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/160212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8404"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160212"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/160212\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=160212"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=160212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
