The Croatian oil and gas company INA has secured EUR 15 million from the Croatian government for its green hydrogen project aimed at production and distribution in transport. This initiative, part of a larger EUR 45.5 million project, involves setting up a 10 MW electrolyzer, an 11 MW solar power plant, and a hydrogen storage and distribution system at the Rijeka refinery. The Ministry of Economy's funding from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan supports the establishment of hydrogen infrastructure and filling stations to promote decarbonization and alternative fuel use in transport. Additionally, the project aligns with Croatia's hydrogen strategy, which has led to various hydrogen projects being launched in the country. Despite the positive outlook, INA acknowledges the early stage of the hydrogen economy, emphasizing the need to consider market conditions. The company's current hydrogen production at the Rijeka refinery is from natural gas, but the shift towards green hydrogen signifies a significant step towards sustainable energy practices.
