In Romania, energy systems manufacturer Metacon will supply an integrated renewable hydrogen system to Ground Investment Corp.

A complete package

In Romania, Metacon has signed a framework supply agreement with GIC (Ground Investment Corp) for a hydrogen production plant. The containerized hydrogen production plant has a capacity of 10MW. In addition, the price of the plant amounts to €16,133,000.

The agreement covers the supply of an integrated hydrogen system consisting of an electrolysis hydrogen production unit. It also includes a hydrogen compression and storage unit. Finally, it integrates a fuel cell unit and a hydrogen refueling station.

With this installation in Romania, GIC aims to initially produce approximately 1.3 tons per day of renewable hydrogen. To produce the hydrogen, the company will use renewable energy from a 30MW wind power plant. The objective is to balance the production of wind energy, refuel electric vehicles and supply hydrogen to third parties.

A project in two phases

The contract will consist of two phases. The first phase involves preparatory work such as engineering. It will begin immediately after the notice of commencement of the ICM.

The second phase includes delivery and installation work. The contract provides for a 10MW electrolyzer and a medium pressure hydrogen compressor of 1656 Nm3/h. The unit also includes a 1MW fuel cell and a 300 kg/day refueling station with a capacity of 350 bars.

However, there is a precondition, the ICG must receive funding from theEuropean Union. The decision is expected in the first half of 2023. At the opening of phase 1, the buyer will make a first payment of €150,000 before tax.
