Italgas opens Italy's first green hydrogen plant in Sestu, Sardinia

Cavendish Hydrogen ASA has secured a new contract with Hydroalp (part of BM Group) to deliver #hydrogen fueling stations in Italy by Q2 2026.—expanding Cavendish’s operational footprint to its second and third sites in Italy. “Italy is an important growth market for clean energy solutions, and this project strengthens our European footprint.” — Robert Borin, CEO, Cavendish The stations will support a key player in Italy’s fuel and transport services sector, reinforcing Cavendish’s role in advancing clean mobility and Europe’s energy transition. Hydroalp will deliver the project turnkey, signaling how local EPCs are becoming key to unlocking distributed hydrogen infrastructure, especially in nations like Italy where logistics, permitting, and grid constraints vary by region.

Hyround: Italgas Opens Italy’s First Green Hydrogen Plant Connected to a City Gas Network In Sestu (Cagliari), Italgas has inaugurated Hyround, the first plant in Italy producing green hydrogen directly connected to a local gas distribution network — a major step toward the decarbonization of local energy systems. Powered by 1,746 photovoltaic panels (1 MW), the facility features an ErreDue 0.5 MW electrolyzer, capable of generating up to 21 tons of renewable hydrogen per year, with production expected to rise to 70 tons by 2028. The hydrogen will be used both: in pure form, to power fuel-cell buses for public transport; and blended with natural gas, for distribution through Italgas’ local network and industrial users such as Granarolo’s Podda dairy plant. With an overall investment of €15 million, including €1.5 million from Italy’s PNRR fund for the hydrogen refueling station, Hyround covers the entire value chain — from production and storage to distribution. The project demonstrates how existing gas infrastructure can play a key role in the energy transition thanks to its flexibility and extensive coverage. Sardinia was chosen as the pilot region because it already hosts Italy’s most advanced digital gas networks, ready to handle renewable gases such as biomethane, hydrogen, and synthetic methane. Ensuring safety is essential as hydrogen infrastructure expands.

Natural gas distribution networks are a key infrastructure for the energy transition. To achieve decarbonization with energy security and affordable costs, we need multiple, complementary solutions. As underlined by the CEO of Enaon EDA, Francesca Zanninotti , at the 7th Renewable & Storage Forum by energypress.gr: “The company is fully prepared. Our networks are already, both technically and digitally, compatible and ready for biomethane.” With 8,700 kilometers of network across 115 municipalities, Enaon EDA is investing in digital, flexible, and sustainable infrastructure that will support Greece’s transition to a new era of clean energy. https://lnkd.in/dSawK3T5 #RenewableStorageForum #energypress #EnaonEDA #Enaon #ItalgasGroup #energytransition #biomethane #cleanenergy

🌍 Power-to-X is scaling up — from vision to industrial reality. SPIN member Axpo is partnering with TURN2X, a Munich-based cleantech company, to supply renewable electricity for a new Power-to-X facility in Extremadura, Spain. Through the energy solutions developer Aquila Clean Energy, Axpo will deliver renewable power enabling TURN2X to produce green hydrogen and e-methane at industrial scale. According to Ignacio Soneira, CEO of Axpo Iberia, the agreement “proves the industrial feasibility of green hydrogen, meeting strict sustainability and economic criteria.” TURN2X CEO Philip Kessler adds that their modular and flexible technology “can be deployed much faster than conventional large-scale plants.” Projects like this are driving the defossilisation of Europe’s energy system — and showing how Power-to-X technologies can make climate neutrality achievable. 🔗 Source: punkt4.info #power2x #Power2Gas #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition #PowerToX #Hydrogen #Innovation #Defossilisation https://lnkd.in/eEP3hfRc

Hydrogen is the new energy heartbeat of Europe, will it replace NG in the future? Europe is taking a big leap toward clean energy with the H2Med project — a 648 km hydrogen pipeline that will connect Portugal, Spain, and France all the way to Germany. Built by companies like Enagás, REN, GRTgaz, Terega, and OGE, this massive €2.5 billion project aims to be ready by 2030. Once complete, it could carry 2 million tonnes of green hydrogen every year, meeting about 10% of Europe’s demand. That means renewable hydrogen from the sunny fields of Iberia could soon power factories in Germany — cutting carbon emissions, creating thousands of jobs, and reducing Europe’s need for imported gas. This isn’t just a pipeline; it’s the start of a new clean energy corridor that could reshape Europe’s economy and inspire the world toward a greener future. #Hydrogen #GreenHydrogen #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #H2Med #Sustainability #Decarbonization #EuropeEnergy #ClimateAction #NetZero #HydrogenEconomy #EnergyFuture #Innovation #CarbonFree

Reflecting on an insightful couple of days at the World Hydrogen Technologies Convention #WHTC2025 in Dublin, it’s clear that collaboration between countries, between sectors, in addition to integration with other energy technologies are all required to mobilise a hydrogen economy at scale. Also crucial is developing an understanding now of where future demand for Green Hydrogen and its derivatives is going to come from. This is why the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, under #PoweringProsperity, and our participation in the National Hydrogen Programme Taskforce, is working to develop that understanding, so that Ireland is well positioned to make the best use of our vast offshore renewable energy resources in the future.
