Hydrogen production plant with usage of renewable solar energy (Dniprovska TC)

Project Description

Construction of the plant for production of hydrogen with usage of renewable solar energy and solar panels.

Planned capacity:

solar power plant – 95 MW АС;
water electrolyzer – 20 MW;
storage system – 20 MW.

Annual solar radiation level: 1.332 kWh/kWp.

Key opportunities:

Land plot location near the Dnipro river (800 m) creates a successful combination of the sun and water energy potential to produce “green” hydrogen.

Transport infrastructure:

railway station – 0.5 km;
territorial highway, connection Т 0401 – 0.2 km.

Cooperation mechanism

own funds – 30%;
potential investor – 70%.

Project Initiator

"MAIN GROUP EUROPE Ltd"

Project duration

2.5 years – development of design documentation, construction of a power plant, electrolyzer and storage system. Expansion work (capacity increase) - another 1.5 years

Project objectives

production of electricity from renewable sources;
generation of environmentally friendly electricity for further sale via “green” rate;
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation.

Project total cost: $140 mln usd
