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.
