Imagine turning a traditional oil refinery into a giant green battery and fuel station. Instead of using fossil fuels, this project creates a network where clean hydrogen is made and then shipped via trucks to power buses, ferries, and factories. It is like building a new plumbing system for clean energy across a whole region.
Industries and transport sectors in South-Eastern Europe rely heavily on fossil fuels and lack the infrastructure to switch to clean energy. There is a gap between green hydrogen production and the actual delivery to vehicles and factories.
A hydrogen distribution network including 3 high-pressure tube trailers, 2 constructed refueling stations, and technical specifications for hydrogen-powered buses and ships.
If you are a shipping operator dealing with high carbon emissions in coastal routes — this project developed feasibility studies for retrofitting a short-sea vessel to use green hydrogen. This allows for a transition to zero-emission propulsion using a dedicated hydrogen supply chain.
If you are a transit authority dealing with urban air pollution — this project developed technical requirements for 3 hydrogen buses and is building 5 refueling stations. This provides the necessary infrastructure to replace diesel fleets with clean energy vehicles.
If you are a lubricant manufacturer dealing with a high carbon footprint in production — this project developed a method for green hydrogen integration into lubricant production. This enables the creation of low-carbon industrial products.
The project entails an initial investment of 115 million EUR, with a potential for direct and indirect leverage reaching up to 408 million EUR.
The project aims for an annual production of 2,410 tons of Green Hydrogen to be used in industrial products and the natural gas grid.
Based on available project data, there are no specific details regarding patents or licensing agreements mentioned.
The project uses a virtual pipeline consisting of 3 tube trailers with a capacity of ~990 kg of hydrogen at 380 bars each.
The project period runs from July 1, 2023, to April 30, 2028.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 18 industrial partners representing 67% of the 27 total members. Led by a major refinery (Motor Oil Hellas), the group includes 5 SMEs and partners from 5 countries (AT, CY, EG, EL, NL), indicating a strong commercial focus and a clear path from technical development to market application.
