Haffner Energy HYNOCA ®, leader player in green hydrogen, technology selected for the bid submitted by GREENVOLT for the conversion of the Pego coal-fired power plant in Portugal (capacity of 20 tons per day).
Haffner Energy, a leading player in green hydrogen, announces that GREENVOLT submitted a bid for the conversion of the PEGO power plant with its HYNOCA® technology. The project includes the collection and use of local biomass, the production of renewable hydrogen with the HYNOCA® process and the distribution of green hydrogen and biochar.
This innovative process would allow a negative carbon footprint via the biochar, which is also a fertilizer.
The green hydrogen production station using the HYNOCA® process would have a capacity of 20 tonnes of green hydrogen per day (equivalent to the green energy required to power 46,000 hydrogen-powered vehicles traveling 15,000 km per year) and would have a negative carbon footprint of 320 tonnes of CO2 per day (corresponding to the CO2 emitted by 73,000 thermal cars).

The project, which would have a strong impact on the creation of local jobs, aims to meet all the regional green hydrogen needs of industrialists and communities, at a competitive price. The excess would be distributed to other areas. Green hydrogen could be converted into green electricity if needed. Thanks for staying up to date with Hydrogen Central.
