"We are making progress on developing one of the largest green hydrogen production capacities in Romania. All components of the 20 MW electrolyser have been delivered. In the coming period, deliveries will continue for the second green hydrogen project, with a capacity of 35 MW, reflecting the sustained progress of the investment," said Radu Caprau, member of the OMV Petrom Executive Board for Refining and Marketing.
The 20 MW electrolyser will produce about 3000 tpy of green hydrogen, obtained by electrolysis of water with energy from renewable sources. It will be used in the production processes, including for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO).
The equipment is supplied by Neuman & Esser (Germany), and the construction, logistics, component manufacturing and module assembly works at Petrobrazi are carried out by Kraftanlagen Romania, in partnership with local suppliers. The 20 MW project benefits from approximately €21 million in non-reimbursable funds through the PNRR.
