Hungarian oil and gas company MOL has commenced production at its green hydrogen plant located at its Szazhalombatta refinery near the capital. The 10 MW capacity plant is set to produce 1,600 tonnes of clean, carbon-neutral green hydrogen annually, suitable for fuel production. Utilizing technology from US-based Plug Power, the plant's electrolyzing equipment breaks down water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity from renewable sources. In addition to hydrogen, the plant generates 8-9 tonnes of clean oxygen for every tonne of hydrogen produced. MOL has invested EUR 22m into this initiative, aimed at reducing CO2 emissions by 25,000 tonnes at the Danube Refinery. Adam Horvath, MOL Group VP, has revealed plans to replicate similar plants in Bratislava and Rijeka, with the Rijeka plant expected to start operations in 2026. This sustainable investment underscores MOL's commitment to environmental responsibility and signifies a significant step towards cleaner energy production within the region.
