EDP and partners to develop 100MW hydrogen project in Portugal
7 January 2022
The European Commission has selected a consortium consisting of EDP and other companies and research partners to develop a 100MW green hydrogen production project in Sines, Portugal.
Companies such as Galp, Bondalti, Martifer, Engie, Vestas Wind Systems, McPhy and Efacec will develop the GreenH2Atlantic renewable project.
Academic and research partners, including ISQ, INESC-TEC, DLR, CEA and public-private cluster Axelera, will also be part of the project.
The project is due to be built at the coal-fired power plant area in Sines.
It has received funding of €30m ($33.9m) from the European Union’s (EU) Horizon 2020 – Green Deal Call research and innovation programme.
The grant will finance the construction of the 100MW electrolyser plant, which will be equipped with scalable and fast-cycling 8MW modules and an interface with advanced management system to allow direct connection to a local hybrid renewable power plant.
Construction works on the plant are expected to begin in 2023, with operations scheduled to start in 2025 subject to all relevant approvals from authorities.
