- The project will be developed in 3 phases with a target capacity of 20MWe to 200MWe.
- Estimated delivery dates range from 2026 to 2030.
- The plant will produce green hydrogen, green methanol, and e-fuels.
- Smartenergy will start permitting activities in the first half of 2023.
Project Overview
The Sassari Provincial Industrial Consortium has approved the development of a green hydrogen production plant in Porto Torres, Sardinia. The project, led by Swiss company Smartenergy, aims to redevelop the area previously exploited by the petrochemical industry.
Strategic Objectives
The Consorzio Industriale Provinciale di Sassari (CIPSS) has included renewable energy development in its strategic objectives to support the industrial reconversion of Porto Torres. The project aligns with CIPSS's goals to promote ground-mounted PV plants for green hydrogen production.
Feasibility and Support
Smartenergy began the feasibility study in 2021, identifying significant potential for decarbonizing Porto Torres. The project has received support from the consulting company Link Consulting Group and local stakeholders, including the Sassari Provincial Industrial Consortium.
Energy Ecosystem
The H2 Porto Torres project will create a Solar + Wind + Green H2 energy ecosystem, utilizing existing and developing renewable energy sources with a total capacity of up to 500 MWp. The project will supply green hydrogen to hard-to-abate sectors and produce green methanol and e-fuels for export.
Timeline and Phases
The project will be developed in three phases, with a target capacity ranging from 20MWe to 200MWe. Estimated delivery dates are set between 2026 and 2030. Smartenergy will commence permitting activities in the first half of 2023.
