Vilnius has completed construction of a €10 million green hydrogen plant, marking a new step in the city’s plans to replace diesel buses with cleaner vehicles.
The plant is now undergoing equipment and systems tests. Production is expected to begin by the end of the year, with the first hydrogen supplies going to Vilnius public transport.
In the initial phase, the hydrogen will fuel 16 buses. The buses will replace vehicles currently powered by diesel, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 1,400 tonnes a year.
