Large-scale Spanish green hydrogen hub attributes highly competitive price to production from cheap solar power
Low-cost solar power in Spain has enabled green hydrogen producers within the HyDeal hub project to secure offtake deals at delivered prices as low as €2.5/kg ($2.64/kg), according to HyDeal president Thierry Lepercq.
