Green Energy Park Initiative Aims for Hydrogen Revolution with Global Projects in Brazil and Croatia

The Green Energy Park initiative was established to develop practical and sustainable energy projects, particularly focusing on hydrogen. Founded by experts from various sectors, including Tobias Puklevitz (CTO), Mindaugas (CEO), Mario Reinisch (CFO), and Bart Bubick (renowned in the hydrogen industry), it aims to align with European regulations for a greener future. The project is spread across multiple locations: engineering in Bonn, headquarters in Rotterdam, governmental affairs near Brussels, EPC management in Lithuania, finance office in Milan, and an import terminal in Croatia. One significant effort involves producing green hydrogen economically in Piauí, Brazil. This location was chosen due to its potential for cost-effective production. The team plans to use ammonia as a transport vector for the hydrogen produced there. Green Energy Park focuses on creating an integrated value chain from production to end-user delivery. They also address logistical challenges of hydrogen distribution which currently lack infrastructure. Their Croatian deep-sea port will serve as a critical hub for this purpose. Their ambitious goal aligns with EU targets that aim for 18-24% power exchange through hydrogen by 2050; they plan on establishing a massive electrolyzer plant capable of producing 10.8 gigawatts or approximately 13.8 million tons of ammonia annually. Ultimately, their two flagship projects—Piauí and Kirk—represent their commitment not only towards innovative supply solutions but also diversifying sources geographically to ensure reliability and sustainability within the global energy market.

It is foreseeable, hydrogen and its derivatives will be shipped to Europe in the years to come and prompt the path of the energy carrier. What form will play what role amongst to option on the table? It still looks like an open race.

Off-grid solar systems are often the least expensive option for rural electrification. Solar home systems can power individual households, while mini-grids can supply entire villages. Each comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. The aim of this session is to explore challenges as well as success stories. It takes well-functioning components such as battery systems, charge management and inverters to make projects successful. Proper system sizing, maintenance and repair management, as well as a robust financial concept are also necessary. If one of these elements is missing, the electrification will not be sustainable. This session will focus on the aspects mentioned above. The speakers will present successful and unsuccessful approaches and discuss what can be learned from them.
