For asustainable Future

 

Green Hydrogen

EU transitions to net-zero energy, leveraging hydrogen for security and decarbonization. Cheaper electrolysis and renewables make green hydrogen viable for hard-to-abate sectors. EU targets 1 million tons of renewable H2 by 2024, aiming for 10 million by 2030.

Overview

ProEuropean, a member of Hydrogen Europe, Clean Hydrogen Alliance and Clean Hydrogen Partnership, spearheads H2Crete Valley, acknowledged as a "Valley" by the European Commission and Clean Hydrogen Partnership.

Implementation

EU production targets require increased investments, especially in Green H2. Introducing H2CRETE Valley: a flagship project for large-scale green H2 production on Crete. It positions Crete as the Mediterranean's green H2 hub, with future expansion aligned to market and infrastructure growth.

Technology

H2CRETE Valley is a large-scale green H2 and NH3 production project in Atherinolakos, Crete. It supports the Cretan and European economies, supplying sectors like Port, Storage, Mobility, and Cement.

H2CRETE Valley Project End markets

H2Crete Valley project caters to public mobility, navy, export, power generation, and plant sectors. It aims to provide sustainable energy solutions, revolutionizing diverse industries with hydrogen technology.

Public Mobility

Investment in green hydrogen applications, particularly in fuel-cell vehicles, is on the rise among public mobility and manufacturing sectors due to its high efficiency and low emissions potential.

Maritime

The EU promotes renewable hydrogen as a marine fuel under RED II and FuelEU Maritime, prioritizing zero-emission goals to meet 2030 and 2050 climate targets and reduce maritime emissions.

Export

Meeting the growing demand for green hydrogen in Europe, notably in Germany, presents storage and transportation challenges, with 65% of green hydrogen production slated for export to the region. Converting hydrogen into green ammonia offers a viable solution.

Heavy Duty Industry

Renewable hydrogen offers heavy industries like steel, cement, and chemicals a sustainable fossil fuel alternative, enabling deep CO₂ cuts and supporting EU carbon neutrality goals in high-demand sectors.

Location

H2CRETE Valley Location
The H2Crete Valley Project strategically positions itself as a key green hydrogen production hub within Europe, leveraging its proximity to vital energy infrastructure such as the EastMed pipeline and the Greece-Africa Power Interconnector. Located in Crete, the project is designed to supply both domestic and European markets, aligning with EU hydrogen and decarbonization objectives. H2Crete’s planned 100MW electrolyser, scalable to 300MW, strengthens its capacity for large-scale green hydrogen and ammonia production, supporting regional energy security. This flagship EU project not only enhances export potential but also advances Greece’s role in the European hydrogen supply chain. Through sustainable practices, H2Crete contributes to EU climate goals while bolstering local economic development.
