Eesti vesiniku teekaardi 2021 – 2050 ettepanek: lisad

This document provides detailed appendices for the proposed Estonian Hydrogen Roadmap 2021–2050. It outlines a phased transition toward a hydrogen economy, focusing on decarbonizing transport, industry, buildings, and the energy sector through the adoption of green hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.

• Estonia's hydrogen strategy is divided into three phases: immediate actions (2021–2025) focusing on pilot projects in heavy transport and municipal vehicles; scaling up (2025–2030) targeting a local electrolysis capacity of over 300 MW; and wide-scale adoption (2030–2050) aiming for full decarbonization of domestic and international freight.
• In the transport sector, specific targets for 2030 include replacing 9% of publicly procured municipal trucks with fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and adding approximately 67 FCEV buses to the public transport fleet (about 4% of the current fleet).
• For the 2030–2050 period, Estonia envisions a scenario where up to 50% of passenger cars could be hydrogen-based, and the remaining non-electrified railway lines (Tallinn-Viljandi, Koidula-Valga, and Tartu-Valga) are decarbonized using fuel cell technology.
• Industrial goals include establishing domestic production of ammonia and methanol by 2050 to replace imports (which in 2018 totaled 5,471 tonnes of ammonia and 4,810 tonnes of methanol) and expanding e-fuel production as CO2 capture costs decrease.
• The document projects a significant drop in the cost of hydrogen produced in Estonia, from an estimated 4.5–5.2 €/kg via wind energy to approximately 1.9 €/kg by 2030, driven by a 50% reduction in electrolyzer investment costs and a 20% reduction in wind energy costs.
• Hydrogen is identified as a key solution for decarbonizing emergency power, with the potential to completely replace gas-fired power plants, such as the Kiisa power plant (up to 250 MW), using fuel cells.
• Current hydrogen production in Estonia is minimal, limited to small quantities in Tartu (University of Tartu for R&D) and Narva (Eesti Energia for internal use).
• Significant barriers to hydrogen adoption in Estonia include the lack of a formal national hydrogen strategy, insufficient renewable energy capacity for green hydrogen, and a lack of specialized distribution infrastructure (pipelines).
• The document highlights the role of the European Hydrogen Backbone (EHB) and regional cooperation with Latvia and Lithuania to ensure energy security and facilitate the export of surplus hydrogen.
• Technical analysis suggests that 2.5% hydrogen can be added to the existing natural gas network in Estonia without major infrastructure changes.
