Expected to Drive Multi-Million Long-Term Value Creation for BrightHy Solutions and Fusion Fuel

DUBLIN, Ireland, May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fusion Fuel Green PLC (NASDAQ:HTOO) ("Fusion Fuel" or the "Company"), a leading provider of full-service energy engineering, advisory, and utility solutions, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Bright Hydrogen Solutions Limited ("BrightHy Solutions"), will provide installation, supply, engineering, and operation services through its Spanish branch for a two-megawatt green hydrogen production facility at a cement operation in Buñol, Spain for client Çimsa Cementos España S.A.U. ("Çimsa").

The construction services will be provided pursuant to a construction agreement between Çimsa and BrightHy Solutions, acting through its Spanish-registered branch, Bright Hydrogen Solutions Limited EP ESP ("BrightHy Spain"). The supply, engineering, and operation services will be provided by BrightHy Spain as service provider under a series of related agreements between Çimsa and a company (the "Project Company") managed by Bright Hydrogen Holding Company Limited, itself managed by BrightHy Solutions and wholly owned by a green energy technologies provider under BrightHy Solution's previously announced hydrogen investment platform, and under a services agreement between the Project Company and BrightHy Spain.

The project is designed to support the reduction of carbon emissions from cement production through the integration of hydrogen as an alternative fuel source in its production process. Cement production is widely recognized as one of the most difficult industrial sectors to decarbonize due to its reliance on continuous high-temperature thermal processes and carbon-intensive production methods, making it a strategically important target market for practical industrial hydrogen applications. BrightHy believes projects such as this demonstrate how green hydrogen can be deployed in targeted industrial use cases where electrification alone may not be sufficient to achieve long-term emissions reduction objectives. In addition, the project will utilize BrightHy Solutions' agency agreement with Sungrow Hydrogen, a global hydrogen equipment supplier and industrial technology provider.

Frederico Figueira de Chaves, Chief Executive Officer of Fusion Fuel and BrightHy Solutions, commented, "This project represents the type of industrial application the hydrogen sector increasingly needs with real industrial demand, long-term commercial structures, and integration into hard-to-abate industrial operations. We believe the market is transitioning from early-stage project announcements toward a greater emphasis on execution, operational reliability, and long-term project viability."

"Cement production represents one of the largest and most difficult industrial decarbonization opportunities globally due to the sector's high-temperature heat requirements and limited alternatives to fossil fuels in certain industrial processes. We believe this multi-million-dollar project further validates BrightHy Solutions' strategy of focusing on practical industrial hydrogen applications. The project is expected to represent a significant source of value creation for both BrightHy Solutions and Fusion Fuel, with anticipated follow-on projects with the client already in the proposal phase. This project represents another important milestone in BrightHy Solutions' strategy to position itself as an integrated hydrogen engineering, execution, and asset management platform supporting industrial decarbonization initiatives across Southern Europe," added Mr. Figueira de Chaves.

Mario Garma, Chief Operating Officer of BrightHy Solutions, commented, "We believe hydrogen deployment will ultimately be driven by projects capable of solving industrial challenges in a pragmatic and economically viable way. The market increasingly requires execution-focused projects that can operate safely, integrate effectively into industrial environments, and create long-term operational value for customers."
