Ohmium to Supply 10 MW PEM Electrolyzers for First Green Hydrogen Project in Croatia

Ohmium International (Ohmium) announce that it was selected to equip the first green hydrogen project in Croatia. Ohmium has been selected as a PEM electrolyzer supplier to IVICOM, a Croatian engineering and construction company, for a project to build a 10 MW green hydrogen plant at the INA Rijeka refinery.

As part of the project, Ohmium's PEM electrolyzers will be coupled with a new solar power plant to produce green hydrogen that will help decarbonize the INA refinery in Rijeka and provide sustainable fuel for the growing Croatian transport market. The green hydrogen project and the associated solar plant are supported by the Croatian Government's Recovery and Resilience Facility , which includes measures to improve the sustainability and diversity of EU members' energy supplies.

The project also advances the goals of Croatia's national hydrogen strategy , which are to install hydrogen production plants with a capacity of 70 MW by 2030 and increase this to 2750 MW by 2050 in order to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

“The synergy between IVICOM's technical expertise and Ohmium's state-of-the-art PEM electrolyzer technology will be the key to successful project implementation,” said Dinko Čondić, CEO of IVICOM. “ This partnership is in line with our company vision to prioritize green projects and green hydrogen innovations for a sustainable future.”

“The installation of green hydrogen at the Rijeka refinery will be an excellent example of the green transition in Europe,” said Arne Ballantine, CEO of Ohmium.“ Ohmium is pleased to work with leading companies such as IVICOM and INA on this groundbreaking project because our PEM electrolyzers are ideal for combining with solar energy to promote refinery decarbonization and green transportation.”
