Spain is expected to be a green hydrogen production hub
Spain sees flurry of green hydrogen partnerships
Cepsa has partnered with Fertiberia to progress its 1GW Huelva project, while Acciona and Plug Power have unveiled a new project in Navarre
Spain has seen a number of green hydrogen partnerships over the past week as developers seek to make use of the country’s supply of low-cost renewable electricity, as well as national and regional targets for production and end-use. Spanish utility Acciona and US technology firm Plug Power have unveiled through joint venture Accionaplug their plans to build a 3,880t/yr green hydrogen plant in the province of Navarre, with startup at the end of next year. The project, called Valle H2 Navarra, will use a 25MW electrolyser—with the possibility to scale up to 50MW depending on demand—powered by 25MW of solar and 24MW of wind capacity, all of which will be from newbuilds. “A major step forw
