Greece Enters the European Hydrogen Mobility Map with Inauguration of First Hydrogen Station in Agioi Theodoroi
Key Ideas
  • Motor Oil inaugurates the first hydrogen station in Greek territory, marking a significant step towards promoting hydrogen mobility in the country.
  • The hydrogen refueling station in Agioi Theodoroi is a 3 million euros investment and the first publicly accessible commercial hydrogen station in Greece and Southeastern Europe.
  • Hydrogen is highlighted as a solution to challenges of electrification, offering benefits like zero emissions, fast refueling, and a long range, making it suitable for professional use and long-distance transport.
  • Despite ongoing efforts to define regulatory frameworks, the market for hydrogen mobility in Greece remains a challenge, with emphasis placed on the need for a developed market.
Motor Oil has introduced the first hydrogen station in Greek territory, located in Agioi Theodoroi, marking a significant milestone for hydrogen mobility in Greece. The station, under the AVIN brand, represents a substantial investment and aims to promote hydrogen as a fuel for the future. This project, receiving co-financing from the Connecting Europe Facility, is a pioneering initiative on national, regional, and European levels. The General Manager of AVIN Oil highlighted the importance of hydrogen as a complementary and independent energy source, particularly in areas where electrification is challenging. The benefits of hydrogen mobility, such as zero emissions, fast refueling, and long-range capabilities, position it as a favorable fuel for professional and long-distance transportation, including shipping and aviation. However, the market for hydrogen in Greece faces challenges despite regulatory efforts, with the need for a well-developed market emphasized by industry leaders. The growth of the hydrogen market extends beyond mobility to refineries, with plans for further decarbonization through the transition to 'green' hydrogen.
