MOL will use Plug’s 10 MW electrolysis unit powered by renewables to make up to 1,600 tons of green hydrogen per year, which will be utilized in fuel production to lower its carbon footprint.
Budapest-based fossil fuel and petrochemicals producer MOL Group has teamed up with Plug Power to build one of Europe’s largest-capacity green hydrogen production facilities at the Danube Refinery in Százhalombatta, Hungary.
Utilizing a 10 MW electrolysis unit from Plug Power, MOL’s EUR 22 million facility will be able to produce 1,600 tons of clean, carbon-neutral green hydrogen annually, according to the announcement. It will save up to 25,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year by displacing the currently used natural gas-based production process, which accounts for one sixth of the group’s CO2 emissions, the companies added.
