Spanish water management company Aqualia is leading a consortium that intends to set up a green hydrogen production facility.
The consortium comprises Spain's energy giants Repsol, as a producer and consumer of hydrogen, and power utilities Naturgy, Redexis, and Reganosa, as gas distributors. It also includes Spanish technology companies Norvento, Perseo, and Técnicas Reunidas.
The pilot project is called Zeppelin and is planned to be implemented at the Isla Verde Wastewater Treatment Plant, located in the port of Algeciras, in the southern region of Andalucia, where Técnicas Reunidas will install several innovative hydrogen production facilities.
The project has a total budget of more than €7 million, with €4.23 million coming from the Spanish government.
The consortium aims to process more than 99 million tons of waste and 50 million tons of municipal wastewater to produce 135,000 tons of green hydrogen per year. “Translated into practical examples, this represents sufficient production for Spanish industry to meet the objectives set out in the Hydrogen Roadmap, or to satisfy the energy needs of the entire Spanish railway network,” Aqualia said in a statement.
“The choice of Algeciras as the site for Aqualia's activities is directly related to the presence of large industries in the area, such as Acerinox, Viesco, Air Liquide, [and] Linde, as well as the port companies, as potential end consumers of green hydrogen. pv magazine - link - Luisa Cabello - link - more like this (Spain) - link - more like this (green H2) - link
