North-1
Country
Greece
North-1 is a 50 MW (scalable to 200 MW) RFNBO hydrogen project in Amyntaio, Western Macedonia, supporting the region’s Just Transition. It will supply hydrogen to PPC’s CHP plant for district heating and connect to DESFA’s hydrogen-ready infrastructure. With permits secured and EPC tendering upcoming, the project targets industrial offtakers and positions Greece as a key hydrogen export hub.
