Motor Oil, a Greek multinational energy company, has unveiled Greece's inaugural publicly accessible hydrogen refuelling station under the AVIN brand. Situated near the company's Agioi Theodoroi refinery, the station caters to both light and heavy-duty hydrogen-powered vehicles. Supported by 50% co-funding from the EU's CEF Transport program, this €3 million investment is a key milestone in Greece's journey towards sustainable mobility. While currently supplied with green hydrogen from Austria, the station will soon be serviced by Motor Oil's upcoming hydrogen production facility, anticipated to kick off in 2026. Motor Oil is not stopping at one station; plans include constructing additional refuelling points in Akrata and Thriasio. Simultaneously, the company aims to power its operations, including the refinery and lubricants arm, using green hydrogen. Furthermore, Greece is delving into integrating hydrogen-powered vehicles into public transport systems. Initiatives like the TRIERES program will see hydrogen vehicles procured by various entities, with OSY in Athens acquiring hydrogen buses as part of a larger plan to introduce 400 new buses, 50 of which will be hydrogen-powered. The significance of hydrogen in heavy transport sectors is evident, with hydrogen offering a potential solution for areas where electrification poses challenges, such as long-haul trucking and intercity transportation. Despite regulatory hurdles, Greece is poised to develop up to 20 hydrogen stations in alignment with broader EU strategies. Hydrogen Europe's CEO highlighted the continent's interest in hydrogen as a means to counter Chinese dominance in batteries, underlining the benefits of quick refuelling and long vehicle ranges. While the price of hydrogen currently stands at around €15/kg, there is optimism for cost reductions as surplus green energy is harnessed for hydrogen production.
