Vilnius completes green hydrogen plant
In the UK, Fuel Cells Works reported that the green hydrogen plant on the site of the Vilnius Second Combined Heat and Power Plant has been completed, with testing of equipment and systems currently underway.
The plant was built under the project “Production of Green Hydrogen for Public Transport in Vilnius City,” carried out by Miesto gijos together with its shareholder Vilnius City Municipality, according to the report.
The overall project is now valued at $10.8 million. The EU provided approximately $6.1 million under the funding agreement, with Vilnius City Municipality covering the remaining project costs, the report added.
Hydrogen must be produced exclusively from renewable energy sources, comply with ISO 14687:2019, and reach a purity of at least 99.99%, suitable for transport use.
During the five-year continuity period, the plant must produce at least 1,425,000 cubic meters — 128,000 kg — of green hydrogen in at least one year. Operating at maximum, the facility could produce up to 285,000 kg per year.
