Hydrogen Ukraine and AB5 Consulting have been awarded a grant to spearhead the H2U Renewable Hydrogen Project in the Odesa Region, the company announced. This grant, obtained through the InnovateUkraine, funded by UK International Development and hosted by British Embassy Kyiv, marks a significant milestone in the advancement of sustainable energy initiatives in Ukraine. The launch event for the programme was held on 2 May 2024, hosted by UK Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron and Ukrainian Minister for Energy German Galushchenko.
The H2U project is set to revolutionize energy production in Ukraine by leveraging renewable sources to produce green hydrogen, a clean and versatile energy carrier. With an initial electrolysis capacity of 100 MW, the project is set to construct a renewable hydrogen plant dedicated to producing renewable electricity and green hydrogen for domestic needs and export to EU countries. The project also includes the construction of solar and wind farms with capacities of 120 MW and 80 MW respectively, in addition to assessing the feasibility of underground hydrogen storage facilities in the saline formations of the Odesa region. This approach ensures a secure energy supply capable of withstanding external disruptions.
The H2U project will conduct a comprehensive feasibility study, under the administrative lead of AB5 CONSULTING LTD Consulting (UK) and technical lead of Hydrogen Ukraine (Ukraine). This feasibility study will lay the groundwork for the construction and implementation phases of the project.
