The project will pair Ohmium’s PEM electrolyzers with a new
solar power plant to produce green hydrogen to help decarbonize
INA’s Rijeka Refinery and supply sustainable fuel for Croatia’s
growing transportation market. The green hydrogen project and
affiliated solar plant are supported by the Croatian government’s
Recovery and Resilience Facility, which incorporates measures to
improve the sustainability and diversity of EU members’ energy
supplies. The project also advances Croatia’s National Hydrogen
strategy goals, which are to install 70 MW of hydrogen production
facilities by 2030, and ramp up to 2750 MW by 2050, to help achieve
climate neutrality by 2050.
“The synergy between IVICOM’s engineering expertise and Ohmium’s
cutting-edge PEM electrolyzer technology will be key to successful
project realization,” said Mr. Dinko Čondić, President of IVICOM’s
Management Board. “This partnership is in line with our company
vision of prioritizing green projects and green hydrogen innovation
for a sustainable future.”
“The green hydrogen installation at the Rijeka Refinery will be
a premier example of the green transition in Europe,” said Arne
Ballantine, Ohmium CEO. “Ohmium is pleased to be working with
leaders such as IVICOM and INA on this pioneering project, as our
PEM electrolyzers are uniquely suited for pairing with solar power
for promoting refinery decarbonization and green
transportation.”
