Motor Oil and PPC reached an agreement to form Hellenic Hydrogen. Dimitris Triantafyllopoulos takes on the role of managing director in the new syndicated firm, where Motor Oil controls 51% of the share capital and PPC 49% of it.
Making the best use of the experience, knowledge, and potential of its shareholders in the development of production and distribution platforms for energy from renewable sources, the company will concentrate on the development of green hydrogen production projects in Greece in collaboration with large and experienced consulting houses. It is underlined that green hydrogen is anticipated to be a key component of both the industry’s transition to a greener future and attempts to achieve climate neutrality in Europe by 2050.
