MOL launches the production of green hydrogen
05/04/2022 • Customer news
MOL Group, has teamed up with Plug Power Inc., a
leading provider of turnkey hydrogen solutions for the global green hydrogen economy, to build one of
Europe’s largest-capacity green hydrogen production facilities at MOL’s Danube Refinery in
Százhalombatta, Hungary. Green hydrogen will reduce the carbon footprint of the Danube Refinery
operation and enable emission-free mobility in the longer term.
Utilizing a 10-megawatt (MW) electrolysis unit from Plug Power, MOL’s €22 million facility will be able to
produce approximately 1,600 tons of clean, carbon-neutral, green hydrogen annually, removing up to
25,000 tons of carbon dioxide by displacing the currently used natural gas-based production process. As
this process represents one-sixth of the carbon dioxide emissions of MOL Group, this investment
supports MOL’s carbon neutrality goals and will contribute to energy independence for the region.
