Industrial scale green hydrogen production project in Spain

Spanish electricity company Iberdrola joins Swedish company H2 Green Steel is in a €2.3 billion plan to produce renewable hydrogen in Spain by 2025 or 2026.

This “Green hydrogen project for Europe worth 2.3 billion euros”And Judge CNBC. Spain’s Iberdrola Electric collaborates with a specialist in Swedish carbon-free steel H2 Green Steel to develop a green hydrogen facility with an electrolysis capacity of 1 gigawatt.

Their alliance is a “extra mark” Corporate interest in the promising renewable hydrogen sector, notes the website of the US Financial Information Channel. The plant will be installed in Spain and “Production should start in 2025 or 2026.”

2 million tons of iron ore

Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis by separating hydrogen and oxygen from a water molecule using an electric current. “If the electricity used in this process comes from a renewable source such as wind or solar energy, then we are talking about green or renewable hydrogen.”, explain CNBC.

Hydrogen storage and transportation are barriers to the development of this zero-carbon energy. So the two companies plan to use it to produce two million tons of iron ore on site.

For Aitor Musso, Director of Editorial Activities at Iberdrola:

Green hydrogen is an essential technology in removing carbon from heavy industrial processes such as steel production.”

According to him, the joint venture must “Accelerate the commercialization of the largest and most advanced electrolyzer, making green hydrogen more competitive”.
