EU awards €30mn each to three green hydrogen projects

Green H2 Atlantic, Refhyne and Greenhyscale all receive funding under Horizon 2020 scheme

Three green hydrogen projects have been selected by the European Commission to receive funding from its Horizon 2020 innovation funding scheme. Green H2 Atlantic, Greenhyscale and the Refhyne clean refinery development have each received €30mn ($34mn) grants to help develop their propositions.  Green H2 Atlantic will develop a 100MW green hydrogen production facility adjacent to a coal-fired power plant in Sines, Portugal. The project will consist of modular electrolysers connected together that are able to ramp up and down quickly to deal with intermittent renewable generation. Construction should start in 2023, with startup expected in 2025, subject to securing the necessary authorisations
