Hungary: MOL focuses on green energy transition, invests $1 billion by 2030

Representatives from Hungarian oil and gas company MOL have recently outlined their strategic vision for the future of energy, emphasizing green aviation, sustainable fuels and Hungary’s geothermal potential. As part of its commitment to the EU’s climate targets and global sustainability trends, MOL is making substantial investments across its Upstream and Downstream operations.

In the Upstream sector, MOL is delving into several key areas: exploring geothermal energy, implementing carbon capture and storage solutions and extracting lithium from water produced alongside hydrocarbons. These initiatives aim to advance MOL’s green energy objectives and reduce its environmental impact.

On the Downstream front, the company is focusing on recycling plastics and other waste materials, developing alternative fuels and minimizing carbon emissions. A significant aspect of MOL’s green transition strategy includes a $1 billion investment by 2030, dedicated to integrating new technologies and shrinking the company’s carbon footprint.

A notable project within this strategy is the development of a pilot electrolysis plant for green hydrogen. With an investment of €20 million, this plant will produce 1.6 kilotons of hydrogen annually. This initiative is expected to cut carbon dioxide emissions from the Szazhalombatta refinery by 25 kilotons per year, which is roughly equivalent to removing 5,500 cars from the road.

The discussion also touched on Hungary’s potential to become a geothermal power hub and the challenges associated with lithium extraction. Despite facing high costs and regulatory hurdles under the EU’s Fit for 55 package, MOL remains committed to long-term sustainability. The company’s strategy reflects a dedication to overcoming these challenges and driving progress in the green energy transition.
