“MOL Group opens 10 MW green hydrogen plant in Hungary” April 12, 2024, - Aida Čučuk “Hungarian multinational oil and gas company MOL Group has inaugurated a 10-megawatt (MW) capacity #greenhydrogen plant in Százhalombatta, Hungary, to reduce the #carbonfootprint of the Danube #Refinery .” “This €22 million investment will reduce the carbon footprint of the refinery by more than 25,000 tonnes of #carbondioxide per year, MOL claimed, adding that the new technology will gradually replace the #naturalgas -based production process, which currently accounts for one sixth of the MOL Group’s total #carbondioxideemissions .” “According to MOL, the plant will start producing in the second half of 2024 and the company will use the green hydrogen primarily in its own network for #fuelproduction .” “The facility will be able to produce approximately 1,600 tonnes of green hydrogen per year and will use a 10 MW electrolysis unit from U.S. Plug Power, MOL further said, noting: “Plug Power’s #electrolysis equipment uses electricity from renewable sources to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen. This means that no polluting by-products are generated and, in fact, the plant produces 8-9 tonnes of pure #oxygen per tonne of #hydrogen .”” “”József Molnár, CEO of MOL Group, commented: “MOL Group has reached another milestone: we can now produce green hydrogen without producing any greenhouse gases. Using this technology, we are able to achieve the same #emissionsreduction as if we took roughly 5,500 cars off the road overnight.”” “”Today, our new green hydrogen plant is only making MOL’s industrial operations greener, but tomorrow it will offer solutions for the whole industry and #hydrogenmobility . After Száhalombatta, we will take the technology to the other two fuel production units of the group to make the fuel production process more sustainable at each of MOL Group’s #refineries .”” https://lnkd.in/eGa7qxpc?
