Italian engineering group Maire Tecnimont SpA this week also announced that its subsidiary, NextChem, and the renewable and storage development business unit (RSD BU) of Greece-based industrial conglomerate Mytilineos SA, have signed an agreement to develop engineering activities for the implementation of a green hydrogen plant via electrolysis in Italy.
The proposed project will convert renewable energy from one of RSD BU’s solar plants into green hydrogen. NextChem, which is Maire Tecnimont’s subsidiary operating in the field of green chemistry and technologies for energy transition, will act as the engineering partner for the project.
Under the agreement, RSD BU will leverage NextChem’s and Maire Tecnimont Group’s know-how and engineering expertise in hydrogen technologies to grow in the hydrogen business.
