Enagas eyes green hydrogen production in south Spain
Spanish gas transmission system operator Enagas unveiled a joint project on June 21 with Fisterra Energy and White Summit Capital to produce green hydrogen in the Bay of Algeciras in south Spain.
The proposed plant will have 237 MW of hydrogen-producing electrolyser capacity, situated in close proximity to a gas pipeline. It will supply green hydrogen to industrial users, including large consumers of hydrogen already and natural gas. The hydrogen can also be used as a vehicle fuel, helping decarbonise heavy-duty transport in the Port of Algeciras area as well as local public transport, Enagas said. It can also be used in maritime transport.
