Transforming Solar Power into Sustainable Industrial Energy
Green hydrogen converts renewable electricity – such as solar power – into a storable and transportable form of energy. It enables renewable energy to be used beyond the moment of generation and supports continuous, carbon-free industrial operation.
The Green Hydrogen Production Chomutov (GREENGAS) project applies this concept on an industrial scale. A 5 MW PEM electrolyzer will produce up to 90 kg of hydrogen per hour (99.999 % purity) using electricity supplied entirely from renewable sources. The project demonstrates how solar energy can be stored as hydrogen and used as a clean replacement for conventional fuels.
Produced through water electrolysis using renewable electricity
Generates zero CO₂ emissions
Stores solar energy in molecular form (H₂) for later use
Can be used in industry, transport, and power balancing
GREEN GAS
The Green Hydrogen Production Chomutov project establishes one of the first renewable hydrogen facilities in the Czech Republic. It is developed by SOLAR PROPERTY QUATRO s.r.o. and co-funded by the European Union through the Modernisation Fund.

Industrial zone, Chomutov
Technical Characteristics
The plant will use electricity supplied entirely from renewable sources via long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). The PEM technology ensures high efficiency, flexible operation, and quick response to variations in renewable generation.
Produced hydrogen will be primarily used in industrial processes, such as metal heat treatment, and can be further utilized for future mobility or energy applications.
The Chomutov facility demonstrates how renewable power can be stored as hydrogen and made available for continuous industrial operation - representing a scalable model for emission-free energy storage.
COMPLETED PROJECTS
Solar Property Quatro owns 5 and operates 8 solar energy power plants since the year 2010 with a combined peak output over 12 MWp. All of them are a part of an industrial park in Chomutov where the development of the Green Gas project takes place.
