IPEC Expert Opinion

Doğukan Ünal · Chemist, hydrogen technology expert ·

This panel's value lies less in technical detail than in showing how hydrogen was positioned on the Turkish and EU side at the end of 2021. According to the video description, the agenda covers green hydrogen trends in the EU, hydrogen in decarbonising the European gas sector, post-COP26 energy geopolitics and the affordability of the transition. The recording (16 December 2021) predates the 2022 energy crisis, deepened by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the REPowerEU plan (May 2022); targets, gas price assumptions and hydrogen import plans changed substantially afterwards. For Türkiye, proximity to the EU market, renewable potential and existing gas infrastructure remain the main axes of the debate. Suitable for following the views of that period, not for current policy assessment; the 106-minute recording has no timestamps.
