LIFE GREENH2ORN is a lighthouse initiative promoting hydrogen-powered mobility and clean energy solutions in Greece. The project focuses on producing green hydrogen via electrolysis powered through a green Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). This hydrogen will fuel heavy, medium, and light-duty vehicles, refueled at a Hydrogen Refueling Station (HRS) installed in Kozani.
A key component of the project is the development of an IT platform, enabling real-time data exchange to optimize energy consumption, fleet operation, and hydrogen utilization. In addition to infrastructure and technology, the project will include the development of regulatory and policy recommendations to support the broader adoption of hydrogen in transportation. Socioeconomic impact monitoring and evaluation will also be conducted to assess the project’s long-term benefits and regional effects.
The overall system will facilitate surplus hydrogen transfer from the Kozani HRS to an HRS located in Thessaloniki, strengthening a secure and reliable hydrogen supply chain. The surplus hydrogen will be transported in novel carbon fiber tubes ensuring safe high-pressure hydrogen storage and transport. This effort plays a vital role in advancing hydrogen transportation and infrastructure, supporting the transition to a sustainable energy future.
As part of the project, two feasibility studies will be conducted to explore the valorization of sewage sludge as a potential source for green hydrogen production. This initiative supports the transition to a circular economy, turning waste into clean fuels and contributing to sustainable waste management solutions.
The studies will be carried out in Italy and Greece, each focusing on a different bio-hydrogen production pathway, assessing the technical and environmental feasibility of their implementation:
