BLACK SEA ENERGY AND TRANSPORTATION HUB
Pioneering model for integrated energy infrastructure for Europe's energy security and resilience
The Black Sea Energy Project aims to establish a large scale, vertically integrated production, transportation, storage and balancing facility near Odesa, Ukraine.
​
Powered by 350 MW of co-located solar and wind energy and a 100 MW electrolyser, the facility aims to produce around 83,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually
The Hub combines renewable generation, balancing capacity, hydrogen and ammonia production, and export infrastructure within a strategic location featuring deep-water ports, gas an ammonia pipelines, railways and road transportation
​

​
The Hub has infrastructure to integrate LNG/FSRU Import Terminal to fill the gap in gas supply and unlock the Ukrainian gas storage potential for the trading and balancing winter/summer arbitrage. The project acts as a replicable model to buster energy security and resilience in region
​At the heart of the project are Battery Energy Storage Systems aimed at balancing the intermittent renewable generation. The surpluses of energy will be converted into hydrogen and ammonia production
​​
Existing large-scale storage tanks are repurposed and direct access to deep-water berths to establish a major bunkering hub is leveraged for green ammonia
Multi-modal transport, deep-sea ports, national ammonia pipelines, and intermodal rail are leveraged for the export of green ammonia
​
ACCESS TO GLOBAL MARKETS
The Hub is located 27 km from Odesa city. It offers immediate connectivity to the Port Pivdennyi, thus Black Sea and international markets. It also has access to ammonia high-pressure pipelines and an intermodal logistics network, that integrates rail and road transport and connects 90% of Ukraine to the Polish border​​​
REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY
The Hub's coastal Black Sea location is strategic for connecting to Central and Eastern European energy markets, and is envisioned as a part of the growing network of clean energy hubs across Europe. The Hub's objectives align with international initiatives aimed at increasing regional connectivity such as the Three Seas Initiative
INTEGRATED DESIGN
Co-locating energy infrastructure within a single hub minimises costs, simplifies logistics, and creates a reliable ecosystem for investment
