Nazare Green Hydrogen Valley(NGHV) consortium is set to unite leading industrial players in Portugal’s central region of Marinha Grande. The consortium plans to put forward an innovative decarbonisation plan though the use of green hydrogen . The project titled “Nazare Green Hydrogen Valley” represents 10% of CO2 emissions within whole industrial sector of Portugal, thus having a strong impact on sector sustainability , exports and communities. The consortium is already replicating this approach in other areas nationwide. NGHV brings together five energy intensive leading companies in industrial segments such as glass and cement markets operating in the central region of Marinha Grande, Leiria and Coimbra. The consortium is set to revolutionize the way the Portuguese industrial sector approaches decarbonization through mature and scalable technology. It will lead the transition to cleaner energy produced from renewable sources such
as solar energy, using circular economy practices through the use of wastewater. By decarbonizing these companies, NGHV will cut a significant share of total carbon industry emissions nationwide
