What changed with Bosnia and Herzegovina’s February 17 hydrogen move?

The government announced a strategic partnership to coordinate policy and infrastructure so green hydrogen projects become bankable and aligned with EU offtake. This sets up tenders in 2026–2027 for studies, EPC, electrolyzers, and storage linked to EU clean fuel corridors. It gives suppliers earlier visibility on standards, permits, and timelines.

How can US companies access tenders in 2026–2027?

Start with prequalification: compile references, audited financials, HSSE records, and ESG plans. Form local partnerships, secure OEM supply slots, and prepare template bid volumes. Track corridor milestones and official notices, then target early studies and FEED lots to shape designs ahead of EPC and storage packages.

What risks should investors assess before bidding?

Prioritize permit pathways, grid access, and site control. Check sanctions, AML, and export-control compliance. Hedge EUR–USD exposure and validate OEM delivery schedules. Confirm alignment with EU clean fuel corridors standards and safety codes. Document community and labor plans to satisfy ESG screens and reduce evaluation delays.
