One of the most impactful green hydrogen projects is taking shape on Spain’s southern coast, where energy company Cepsa is constructing the Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley— two new green hydrogen generation plants that will produce up to 300,000 tons of green hydrogen per year for use across Europe in aviation and heavy land and sea transport.
The essential ingredients for producing green hydrogen are access to water and renewable energy. With sufficient sun, wind and available land, Spain is able to produce renewable energy at the cheapest cost in Europe, and Cepsa is creating a maritime corridor to transport green hydrogen to Rotterdam for export to northern Europe.
Through Cepsa’s partnership with Mubadala, they are able to act with the speed needed to get large-scale renewable and green hydrogen projects off the ground.
