Eni SpA and Enel SpA are partnering to develop green hydrogen
projects through the use of electrolyzers powered by renewable
energy.
The two Italy-based energy players said Wednesday that two pilot
projects, which aim to supply qualified Eni refineries, are
expected to start generating hydrogen from renewable energy by
2022-2023. Each of them will feature an electrolyzer of around 10
megawatts.
"We are looking forward to seeing green hydrogen supplying Eni's
refinery and biorefinery processes, and are working to have the
first operating system in place before the end of our current
three-year plan," said Enel's Chief Executive Officer Francesco
Starace.
Mr. Starace said the companies envision a system where the
electrolyzer and the refinery are in the same location in order to
avoid complex infrastructure to transport hydrogen.
Enel is currently also developing green-hydrogen projects in
Spain, Chile and the U.S. It plans to reach a green-hydrogen
capacity of over 2 gigawatts by 2030.
