Fusion Fuel’s GreenGas Project in Evora



Fusion Fuel is developing a Green Hydrogen Utility Scale Demonstrator, the GreenGas project, in the Evora region using its proprietary technology to produce Green Hydrogen. The project which starts in the second half of 2020 will be Portugal’s first large scale Solar to Green Hydrogen Plant.



GreenGas, which is a solar to hydrogen power plant using concentrated photovoltaic and proprietary electrolyzer technology. It consists of two phases and will produce nearly 70 tones of Green Hydrogen per year. Around 60% of the hydrogen produced will be used to mix into the natural gas network in Évora. The remaining hydrogen will be stored and converted to electrical energy on site, which will then be injected into the electrical grid.



This is a strategic project for Fusion Fuel and Portugal overall in light of the National Hydrogen Strategy, as it will be both the first large scale solar to green hydrogen project in Portugal and the first industrial scale mixing of Green Hydrogen into a local natural gas network.

GreenGas - Phase I

Consists of 40 Fusion Fuel Hydrogen Generators to produce around 35 tons of Green Hydrogen per year directly from solar radiation. The Green Hydrogen produced will be mixed into the local natural gas network. It will be Portugal’s first large scale project to produce Green Hydrogen from solar energy and also the first project to blend Green Hydrogen into a local natural gas network.

Phase I will affirm solar to hydrogen efficiency rate of 26.8% at the DC-PEHG level, Fusion Fuel’s proprietary electrolyzer, on an industrial scale.

GreenGas - Phase II

Consists of an additional 15 Fusion Fuel Hydrogen Generators with the latest evolution of Fusion Fuel’s proprietary electrolyzer that will also allow for Green Hydrogen production using renewable energy from the electrical grid in times of low or no solar irradiation.

It will also include the installation of an open market hydrogen fuel cell to generate electricity with the excess Green Hydrogen production which will be injected into the national electrical grid.
