Acronym: H2HUB
Project Title: Hydrogen Innovation Hub
Duration: 60 months (01/07/2023 – 30/06/2028)
Description: The H2HUB aims to conduct independent research and develop demonstrative applications of hydrogen technologies concerning production, storage, and utilization in Greece and the wider Southeastern Europe region in order for the utilization of research results to contribute to the enhancement of the region's competitiveness.
As part of the research project, the H2HUB includes a pilot unit for green hydrogen production and applications. More specifically, a Technology Park will be created, consisting of a Photovoltaic park (PV) with a capacity of one MW, two hydrogen production electrolyzers with a total power of up to 900 kW, for the production of up to 100 kilograms of green H2 per day, a fuel cell (PEM FC) with a power of up to 200 kWe, for research purposes and energy production (thermal and electric) for the same needs, and finally, a hydrogen refueling station.
Objectives: The project has the following 5 objectives:
- Evaluation of energy flows and energy consumption of the facilities
- Development of basic operation scenarios for the pilot unit
- Determination of the optimal operation scenario for the pilot unit
- Optimization of overall installation automation aiming at better energy management of the facility and effective handling of security emergencies
- Evaluation of energy efficiency of electrolyzers, batteries, H2 injection into transport pipeline, fuel cells of different sizes aiming at the optimal technology selection case by case.
HIT key role and responsibilities: HIT is involved in the work package concerning the Hydrogen Fueling Station, initially serving two municipal heavy-duty vehicles - garbage trucks, and two smaller vehicles for personnel and supplies transportation at the H2 Hub, with prospects for the development of hydrogen propulsion applications, battery storage array, with a capacity of up to 558 kWh to cover operation during nighttime hours and for research purposes.
