Hydrogen & sustainable fuels
Our power-to-fuel business, turning renewable electricity into green hydrogen and green hydrogen into clean liquid fuels. ATNOM Fuels brings together our energy operations across one continuous value chain.
- 15 → 100 MW
- Electrolyser (phase 1 → 2)
- 9.5 → 100 MWp
- Hydrogen solar (phase 1 → 2)
- 22 → 100 MWp
- SAF plant solar (phase 1 → 2)
- ~100,000 t/yr
- SAF & biodiesel target
Overview
ATNOM Fuels turns clean power into clean fuel. Solar plants generate renewable electricity, electrolysers convert it into green hydrogen, and a downstream facility turns that hydrogen into sustainable aviation fuel and renewable biodiesel, keeping the whole chain renewable.
We are building in phases. Phase one brings a 15 MW electrolyser and 22 MWp of solar online, with the fuels facility following as financing is secured, scaling toward 100 MW as demand for green fuels grows across Europe.
Capabilities
- Green hydrogen production
- PEM electrolysis (15 MW)
- Dedicated solar generation
- Compression & storage
- Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
- Power-to-liquid synthetic fuels
What ATNOM Fuels does
Hydrogen production
Operated through Tehnomir SRL
In phase 1, a 15 MW electrolyser paired with a dedicated 9.5 MWp solar plant integrates renewable generation, electrolysis, compression and storage into a single deployable production system — green hydrogen made from on-site renewable power. Financed and under construction; commissioning December 2026. Phase 2 will bring a 100 MW upgrade across both PEM electrolysis and PV generation.
Sustainable fuels & solar
Operated through ATNOM Industries SRL
A 22 MWp photovoltaic plant, financed for commissioning in December 2027. In parallel, a sustainable fuels facility converts renewable power and green hydrogen into drop-in liquid fuel. The project is currently securing financing.
Fuel synthesis & delivery
SAF and renewable biodiesel
The final stage combines green hydrogen and renewable power into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable biodiesel, targeting close to 100,000 tonnes per year combined. Both are drop-in fuels that work in today's aircraft and engines with no modification, giving airlines and transport operators an immediate lower-carbon alternative to fossil fuels.
From the power, to the molecule, to the fuel — the full renewable value chain in one pillar.
Green Hydrogen Production Facility — Avram Iancu, Bihor
Renewable-powered green hydrogen at industrial scale in north-west Romania.
Key figures
- 15 MW total electrolysis capacity (3 × 5 MW PEM units)
- 9.5 MWp on-site solar generation
- 2 MWh battery energy storage
- PEM technology — modular, scalable, renewable-ready
- Compressed on-site storage of finished hydrogen
- Location: Avram Iancu, Bihor County, Romania
ATNOM is developing a green hydrogen production facility in Avram Iancu, Bihor County — one of the first of its kind in the region, co-financed through Romania's Modernisation Fund. The plant produces hydrogen by water electrolysis using renewable electricity, with no direct CO₂ emissions.
What the plant does
The facility uses PEM electrolysis — a modular, fast-responding technology suited to variable renewable power. Three independent 5 MW units give 15 MW of installed capacity, each able to run on its own so production continues during maintenance.
Power comes from a hybrid supply: an on-site 9.5 MWp solar array, 2 MWh of battery storage, and a national grid connection. Solar and battery feed renewable power directly to the electrolysers, while the grid keeps the plant running outside peak solar hours. Hydrogen is purified, compressed, and stored on site, ready for dispatch.
Why it matters
Green hydrogen replaces fossil inputs in industry and transport without the carbon footprint of conventional hydrogen made from natural gas. Producing it locally from renewable power cuts dependence on imported energy, supports Romania's decarbonisation targets, and builds capability in a sector central to Europe's energy transition. For the region, it brings new energy infrastructure and skilled jobs.
Framework and funding
The project is co-financed under Romania's Modernisation Fund, administered by the Ministry of Energy, and is built and operated to applicable EU standards for equipment certification, pressure equipment, and explosive-atmosphere safety.
From hydrogen to clean fuels
The hydrogen produced is the building block for the next stage of ATNOM's strategy: conversion into synthetic liquid fuels — including sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and other renewable fuels of non-biological origin. These fuels sit at the centre of the EU's ReFuelEU Aviation regulation, which from 2030 mandates a rising, legally binding share of synthetic e-fuels in European aviation. By integrating renewable power, hydrogen production, and downstream fuel synthesis, ATNOM aims to become a significant player in Europe's emerging green fuels market.
