Having entered into a master supply agreement (MSA), Metacon will supply an integrated hydrogen system made up of 10MW of electrolysis based hydrogen production, hydrogen compression and storage, and a fuel cell unit, as well as an integrated hydrogen refuelling station.
Despite the system being capable of producing up to 4.3 tonnes of green hydrogen per day, H2 View understands GIC intends on initially producing 1.3 tonne per day, utilising 30MW of wind power. The project start and order is pending an EU grant decision.
Following the first phase of engineering, planning, and designing, in the project’s second phase, GIC intends on being able to deliver a minimum of 300kg of hydrogen refuelling at 350 bar.
GIC has said it is entering the development of project for integrating green hydrogen systems into their existing renewable energy plants.
“We are very pleased to have entered into this master supply agreement with Ground Investment Corp SRL on the Romanian market,” said Christer Wikner, President and CEO of Metacon. “The contract shows trust in Metacon’s ability to provide integrated hydrogen solutions for its international customers. This will be a pioneering multi-purpose green hydrogen project.”
The two companies have agreed that a precondition for the initiation of the first phase is that GIC receives EU funding, which is expected to be confirmed in the first half of 2023. Should funding not be granted, Metacon and GIC have said they will discuss the possibility to go ahead with the project.
Dan Oproescu, Managing Director of GIC, added, “We see very strong potential for green hydrogen and hydrogen applications in Romania. We are pleased to be able to team up with Metacon in this pioneering wind power-linked green hydrogen project.”
A Successful Ecosystem for Green Hydrogen – Iceland
It is becoming ever clearer that the entire green hydrogen ecosystem requires alignment. Hydrogen’s potential, performance, and safety are proven. Green hydrogen is widely accepted as a core pathway to Net Zero, yet the key levers in the transition are not yet in-sync.
For these reasons, H2 View is launching An Ecosystem for Green Hydrogen, a two and a half day summit in Reykjavík, Iceland on February 28 to March 2, 2023, devoted to thought leadership, insights, and actionable takeaways for the green hydrogen ecosystem.
In a world full of distractions and technical overload, we need inspiring places to refresh our minds and bodies. The power of Iceland lies in its nature, culture, and energy. These elements serve as the perfect backdrop for a memorable and effective event at the world renowned Harpa Centre.
The summit promises to tackle all sides of the energy ecosystem, from wind and solar power requirements, through to additionality, water sustainability, electrolyser technologies, and the investment and policy climate. The 2.5 day event is split over six sessions, delegates will hear from speakers representing all strands of the hydrogen value chain in a bid to unravel key issues in the industry, and where it can make some headway.
