(IN BRIEF) European energy ministers recently visited MOL Group’s green hydrogen plant in Százhalombatta, Hungary, Central Europe’s largest facility of its kind, during the Central and South-Eastern Europe Energy Connectivity (CESEC) meeting. The 10-megawatt plant produces 1,600 tonnes of green hydrogen annually using renewable electricity, reducing the Danube Refinery’s CO₂ emissions by 25,000 tonnes per year. György Bacsa, MOL Hungary’s Managing Director, emphasized the role of green hydrogen in decarbonizing industry and transportation and called for EU incentives and supportive regulations. The CESEC group, which includes EU member states and Energy Community countries, promotes renewable integration and regional energy infrastructure.
(PRESS RELEASE) BUDAPEST, 1-Nov-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — During the ministerial meeting of the Central and South-Eastern Europe Energy Connectivity (CESEC) High-Level Group, European energy ministers visited MOL Group’s green hydrogen plant in Százhalombatta, Hungary—the largest such facility in Central and Eastern Europe. The meeting, organized by the European Commission in collaboration with Hungary’s EU Council Presidency, focused on renewable energy, electricity, and gas sector advancements, with green hydrogen positioned as a key technology for decarbonizing the region.
MOL Group’s 10-megawatt green hydrogen facility, inaugurated earlier this year, began production in late summer, using renewable electricity to produce 1,600 tonnes of green hydrogen annually for fuel production, with future potential for use in the transport sector. The plant’s process generates no polluting by-products and yields pure oxygen alongside hydrogen, helping to reduce the Danube Refinery’s carbon footprint by more than 25,000 tonnes of CO₂ each year—equivalent to emissions from about 5,400 cars.
György Bacsa, Managing Director of MOL Hungary, welcomed the visiting delegations and emphasized MOL’s commitment to green energy transition, highlighting the importance of EU support. “Green hydrogen is pivotal for greening industry and transportation,” said Bacsa. “We are ready to contribute, but achieving Europe’s climate goals requires incentives and an EU regulatory framework that acknowledges economic and regional differences. We hope to work alongside European decision-makers to support industry efforts.”
The CESEC High-Level Group, established in 2015, fosters cooperation among Central, Eastern, and South-Eastern European countries to advance renewable energy projects, promote market integration, and support the deployment of hydrogen and biomethane. The group includes regional EU member states and eight Energy Community countries, underscoring a commitment to sustainable energy infrastructure and innovation across the region.
