Memorandum of understanding signed for new hydrogen corridor to power clean mobility in Europe

Four leading companies from across Europe formally signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the Global Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, marking the launch of the See Hydrogen Mobility Consortium. The initiative aims to develop a large-scale hydrogen mobility corridor spanning Eastern and Central Europe, Turkey, and connecting with Western Europe. With the first pilot rolled out in 2028 in Bulgaria.

For the mobility sector to achieve a successful energy transition, major steps are necessary, with hydrogen playing a vital roleThe See Hydrogen Mobility project will be able to provide cost-effective, pragmatic, reliable and low-carbon hydrogen initiatives. The project, spearheaded by See Hydrogen Ltd. (Bulgaria) and supported by key partners RESATO Hydrogen Technology (Netherlands), HyGear (Netherlands), and Green Energy Park-Global (Netherlands) aims to build a fully integrated hydrogen truck mobility infrastructure by 2031.

Its first milestone is a pilot project to be completed in Bulgaria by 2028, featuring at least three hydrogen refueling stations (HRS), a hydrogen production facility, over 100 hydrogen trucks, and digital infrastructure.

Transport infrastructure

The full rollout includes more than 100 hydrogen refill stations spaced ~200 kilometers apart along the Trans-European Transport Network, 17 regional hydrogen production sites, and the deployment of up to 10,000 hydrogen-powered trucks through a pay-per-use leasing model. Green hydrogen—also sourced from green ammonia—will support a Net Zero value chain. The collaboration combines production, distribution, and vehicle deployment in one unified, cross-border ecosystem.

Stronger collaboration

By September 2025, the Consortium partners will jointly finalize a Head of Terms, followed by a Joint Development Agreement later this year. The initiative is grounded in open collaboration, knowledge sharing, and technology neutrality—leveraging each partner’s strengths to deliver scalable, reliable, and low-carbon transport solutions for the energy transition.

“This is a significant step forward for green transport in Europe. We combine our efforts for building a viable and scalable hydrogen mobility backbone, one that addresses both decarbonizing the hard-to-abate heavy duty transport and market demand” said Blagoy Burdin, CEO of See Hydrogen Ltd.

“This project reflects the kind of cross-border collaboration needed to move hydrogen mobility forward. At HyGear, we are committed to accelerating this transition through cost effective, flexible and scalable on-site hydrogen production technologies.” said Henk Kleef, CEO of HyGear.

“Hydrogen is no longer a future promise — it’s a present necessity. This important initiative will contribute to achieving Europe’s decarbonisation goals along the TEN-T corridors in the Balkans and beyond. Green Energy Park is proud to contribute our experience in large-scale hydrogen infrastructure to make this vision a reality,” said Bart Biebuyck, CEO of Green Energy Park.

“We are proud to be part of this consortium that is paving the way for zero-emission mobility in Europe. With our expertise in hydrogen refueling technology, we are helping to lay the foundation for a future-proof infrastructure that empowers sustainable transport. True progress can only happen when we work together,”  said Rob Castien, CEO of Resato Hydrogen Technology.

The consortium is open to engaging additional stakeholders from the hydrogen value chain and welcomes discussions with public and private sector actors interested in accelerating the hydrogen transition across Europe and beyond.
