Romania is embarking on the development of its first hydrogen production plant in Cluj-Napoca, a significant step towards sustainable transportation. The project, coordinated by Professor Bogdan Varga from the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, aims to introduce green hydrogen as an alternative fuel for various modes of transport. The new facility, to be constructed within the Public Transport Company depot, will involve a public tender to select a builder after securing approval for its electricity connection. The plant, funded by European resources, will house an electrolysis installation for green hydrogen production, with a total project value of 71 million lei. Professor Varga estimates the operational timeline to be around 18 months from signing the contract, targeting the end of 2026 for the first hydrogen production at the site. When fully operational, the plant is expected to produce 1,024 kilograms of hydrogen per day, primarily catering to public transport needs and district heating uses. Cluj-Napoca stands out in Romania for its advanced projects related to green hydrogen, with ongoing efforts towards integrating hydrogen buses into the public transport fleet. The city is part of the Ro-HydroHub project, a national initiative focusing on hydrogen research encompassing mobility solutions, production, and storage. Additionally, Cluj has already initiated road tests with hydrogen buses, aiming to purchase both battery electric buses and hydrogen buses to enhance its environmentally friendly transport options. Overall, the project signifies Romania's commitment to embracing sustainable energy solutions, with a particular emphasis on hydrogen as a clean and efficient fuel for the future.
