Greek multinational energy company Motor Oil has launched Greece’s first publicly accessible hydrogen refuelling station, operated under the AVIN brand, marking a major milestone in the country’s transition to cleaner transport solutions.
Located along the old Athens–Corinth National Road near the company’s refinery in Agioi Theodoroi, the station enables refuelling for both light and heavy-duty hydrogen-powered vehicles.
The €3 million investment was co-funded 50% by the EU’s Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) – Transport programme. For now, the station is supplied with green hydrogen from Austria’s Wien Energie, transported by Coral Gas.
In the future, refuelling will be handled by Motor Oil’s own hydrogen production facility currently under construction at its refinery. The station itself was built by BFS, another Motor Oil subsidiary.
Hydrogen production in Greece is expected to begin in 2026, with green hydrogen powering both the refinery and Motor Oil’s lubricants arm, LPC. The company is also preparing two additional hydrogen refuelling stations—one in Akrata and another at the OSY bus depot in Thriasio. Funding for both projects has been secured.
