Project update for LCH2 production at MSK Kikinda - Blue horizon 1 & 2

MSK Kikinda has completed a full pre-feasibility study confirming the strong potential of its low-carbon hydrogen project.

Depending on the selected production variant, the facility can achieve 8,727–23,839 t/yr of EU-compliant low-carbon hydrogen (H₂) and generate 78–463 GWh/yr of low-carbon electricity from a 16 MW high-efficiency CHP unit.

CHP operation is based on the utilization of process off-gases, demonstrating the advantages of MSK’s proven POX infrastructure.

The entire hydrogen output may also be converted into low-carbon electricity, providing flexibility for power-system balancing.

With the future potential of applying CCS in nearby depleted oil and gas fields, MSK Kikinda could reach a full annual capacity of 3,060–26,160 t of low-carbon (blue) hydrogen.

The produced hydrogen is intended for transport, power generation, natural gas blending, and export to EU markets.

MSK’s ability for continuous, large-scale production and its logistical proximity to Central Europe position the company as a strategic supplier for emerging regional and EU hydrogen demand.

Building on these results, MSK Kikinda is now entering the comprehensive feasibility study (Pre-FID) phase to define the optimal production setup and ensure strong technical and commercial performance.
