Announcement of preliminary funding decisions for renewable hydrogen initiatives

por

The initial stage of funding allocation has been completed for projects focused on renewable hydrogen clusters and valleys. Out of the total applications, 7 projects have been selected, which include 11 hydrogen production plants. These projects have been earmarked to receive 1,214 million euros in funding to support the development of renewable hydrogen production.

Upon completion in 2028, these 11 plants will collectively provide close to 2.3 gigawatts of electrolysis capacity.

In the evaluation process, the primary consideration was to identify and support those projects that demonstrated the highest efficiency in their use of public funds relative to their electrolysis capacity. However, the selection also took into account a range of additional factors, including technical, socio-economic, and environmental aspects. This encompassed an assessment of the applicants’ financial stability, their previous experience, and the advancement level of their proposed projects. Furthermore, extra points were granted to those projects that incorporated educational components in partnership with academic and vocational institutions, as well as those committing to investments in research, development, and innovation (R&D&I).

The funded projects are anticipated to generate approximately 9,000 direct employment opportunities and an additional 10,000 indirect jobs. Special emphasis was placed on supporting projects that enhance the technological and industrial self-sufficiency of Europe, with a requirement that over 90% of the electrolyzers used be sourced from European manufacturers.

It is important to note that the list of selected projects may be subject to change. The allocation of funds will remain provisional until the final list of awardees is officially published.

Hydrogen Valleys Alliance is born

por

A total of 16 hydrogen valleys from all over the country will collaborate to promote the renewable hydrogen value chain in Spain.

The Hydrogen Valleys Alliance seeks to position Spain as a relevant player in the European economy in this energy vector.

In a step towards the decarbonisation of industrial and transport sectors of the national economy and the development of an industrial value chain, sixteen hydrogen valleys from all over Spain have met in Huelva to sign up to the Hydrogen Valleys Alliance.

These associations will work together to promote the renewable hydrogen value chain with the aim of positioning Spain as a relevant player in the European economy of this energy vector.

In the words of the Hydrogen Valleys Alliance, ‘the main premise of this Alliance is to mark a before and after in the sustainable and competitive future that we intend to outline in Spain. The collaboration between all the valleys is essential to overcome the climate and energy challenge that we all have in common, and to maintain the competitiveness of our industrial sector, taking advantage of the opportunity to develop new industry and technology’.

In order to carry out the different initiatives promoted around this energy vector, the country’s sixteen hydrogen valleys, made up of companies and other public and private organisations belonging to multiple parts of the hydrogen value chain, seek to collaborate in order to drive the development of local ecosystems around the hydrogen economy.

They also aim to learn from each other’s best practices, advance in collaborative projects and improve their capacity for dialogue with the different Spanish and EU institutions.

The Hydrogen Valleys Alliance has 611 entities involved in 333 projects, which involve, among others, the production of almost 900,000 tn/year of hydrogen, and the abatement of more than 11 M tn/year of CO2.

Renewable hydrogen is a key energy vector for making Europe’s commitment to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 a reality, and for making progress in reducing energy dependence and greenhouse gas emissions. Spain, for its part, has an industrial fabric that is well positioned to support the development of green hydrogen and with ideal conditions to make this a key vector for energy transition, as well as to achieve an opportunity for industrial, economic, social and technological development.
