H2U Hydrogen Valley - Zakarpattia

Hydrogen Ukraine intends to construct a green hydrogen production plant with a capacity of 100 MW, potentially expanding to 1500 MW. The project also includes a 120 MW solar facility, scalable to 1200 MW, and wind installations capable of 160 MW. This ambitious endeavor aims for seamless integration into Ukraine's Unified Energy System, incorporating new substations and power lines. The export of hydrogen is intended to be via a pipeline to a metallurgical plant in Slovakia
