ACCIONA Energía produces in Mallorca first industrial renewable hydrogen in Spain
24 December 2021
Power to Green Hydrogen Mallorca, a venture led by ACCIONA Energía and Enagás, in partnership with CEMEX and IDAE, has started commissioning tests to produce renewable hydrogen at its facilities in Lloseta (Mallorca).
The electrolyser that splits water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen atoms is powered by renewable energy supplied by two photovoltaic plants, one located in the municipality of Lloseta (8.5 MW) and the other in Petra (5.85 MW).
The renewable electricity for hydrogen production is certified using blockchain technology via the GreenH2Chain® platform developed by ACCIONA Energía, ensuring that the hydrogen obtained at the plant is 100% renewable.
The plant will begin producing green hydrogen on an industrial scale at the beginning of the year and will produce at least 300 tons of renewable hydrogen per year, part of which will be distributed through Spain's first hydrogen pipeline, built by Redexis.
Local business is also participating in the deployment of this clean energy ecosystem through agreements such as the one reached with the Iberostar hotel group, which will use renewable hydrogen to replace part of its natural gas consumption.
Power to Green Hydrogen Mallorca is the core of the Green Hysland project, which is coordinated by Enagás and supported by EU funding. Through the Clean Hydrogen Partnership (formerly known as the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking — FCH JU), the European Union has earmarked €10 million to support the deployment of the infrastructure needed to build renewable hydrogen infrastructure on the island of Mallorca.
