Irish Green Hydrogen Pioneer Secures Major Southern European Projects

Dublin-based Fusion Fuel Green PLC (NASDAQ: HTOO) has achieved a significant breakthrough in the European green energy sector, with its subsidiary BrightHy Solutions advancing to final negotiations for two transformative hydrogen projects in Southern Europe, marking a crucial step in the region's transition to sustainable energy.

Strategic Expansion into Southern European Markets

In a move that echoes growing economic resilience in Southern European markets, BrightHy Solutions has secured preferred partner status for a 2 MW hydrogen project serving a cement manufacturer. The project, valued at €30 million, represents a significant step in industrial decarbonization efforts.

Dual Project Success

The company's achievements include:

• Selection as primary partner for a cement industry decarbonization project
• Appointment as engineering consultant for a Portuguese hydrogen plant and refueling station
• Potential inclusion in a proposed hydrogen investment partnership structure

Economic and Environmental Impact

These developments align with broader corporate responsibility initiatives and demonstrate Ireland's growing influence in sustainable technology. The projects could significantly impact regional industrial decarbonization efforts while fostering economic growth.

BrightHy Solutions' CEO Frederico Figueira de Chaves emphasized the strategic importance of these developments, particularly noting how they align with regional infrastructure development goals. The cement project, if secured, would represent a significant milestone in the company's expansion strategy.

Future Implications

While both projects remain in the negotiation phase, they represent significant potential for Ireland's green technology sector and its role in European energy transformation. The developments could establish new benchmarks for industrial decarbonization and sustainable energy infrastructure.
