MOL inaugurates largest green hydrogen plant in CEE

MOL Group has handed over a 10 MW capacity green hydrogen plant in Szazhalombatta which is the largest in Central and Eastern Europe. The EUR 22 million investment makes fuel production more sustainable: the plant will reduce the Danube Refinery`s carbon dioxide emissions by 25 000 t. MOL will be able to produce 1600 t of clean, carbon-neutral green hydrogen per year which opens a new chapter in hydrogen economy. The investment is in line with the MOL Group`s SHAPE TOMORROW corporate strategy to make the region more sustainable, competitive and self-sufficient.

The new technology will gradually replace the natural gas-based production process, which currently accounts for one sixth of the MOL Group`s total carbon dioxide emissions. The plant will start producing in the second half of 2024. MOL will use the green hydrogen primarily in its own network for fuel production.
