🚀 Pioneering Hydrogen Energy at the Geothermal Park 🚀 At the Geothermal Park, Orka náttúrunnar / ON Power spearheads Iceland's energy transition with a unique initiative. VON, Iceland's first and only hydrogen production plant, has been operational since 2020. Strategically located within the Geothermal Park at Hellisheidi, it can produce up to 100 tons of hydrogen annually, enough to power around 800 hydrogen passenger vehicles or 5-7 hydrogen trucks each year. This plant is a game-changer. The hydrogen is produced at night when the demand for geothermal energy from households and businesses is lower, ensuring improved utilization of our baseload geothermal resources. Two months ago, we reached a significant milestone in our journey. Five Icelandic companies—BM Vallá, Colas, MS, Samskip, and Terra —signed a letter of intent to purchase hydrogen-powered MAN hTGX trucks. This collaboration marks one of Iceland's most significant energy transition projects, with Blær distributing the hydrogen. ON Power has consistently promoted sustainable energy solutions, opening Iceland's first EV fast-charging station in 2014. The hydrogen project will save approximately 700,000 litres of diesel annually, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to a greener future. We're excited about the potential of hydrogen energy and look forward to continuing to support Iceland's journey towards sustainability. 🌍💚 #GeothermalPark #HydrogenEnergy #SustainableFuture #ONPower #EnergyTransition #GreenEnergy #Iceland #hydrogenproduction #energytransition
