Ohmium to supply electrolysers for 10-MW green H2 project in Croatia

US electrolyser specialist Ohmium International has been selected to supply its proton exchange electrolysers (PEM) for a 10-MW green hydrogen project at a refinery in Rijeka, Croatia.

The project is led by Croatian industrial engineering and construction company IVICOM, which selected Ohmium to equip the first green hydrogen plant in the Adriatic country, Ohmium said on Monday.

The plant will be installed at the Rijeka refinery that belongs to Croatian oil major INA dd (ZSE:INA). Ohmium’s PEM electrolysers will be paired with a new solar farm to enable INA to produce green hydrogen and sustainable fuels for the transportation market.

Both the green hydrogen and the solar project are supported by the Croatian government’s Recovery and Resilience Facility. The government is a part owner of INA.

“The green hydrogen installation at the Rijeka Refinery will be a premier example of the green transition in Europe,” said Arne Ballantine, Ohmium CEO. “Ohmium is pleased to be working with leaders such as IVICOM and INA on this pioneering project, as our PEM electrolyzers are uniquely suited for pairing with solar power for promoting refinery decarbonization and green transportation.”
