Redexis, a Spanish gas distributor, has embarked on a pioneering green hydrogen blending project in Mallorca, Spain. This initiative involves incorporating a 2% blend of green hydrogen into the national gas grid, making it the largest fully commissioned project of its kind in Europe. The project features a 3.2km pipeline connecting to Mallorca's existing 1,400km gas network, enabling the transportation of green hydrogen sourced from the 2.5MW hydrogen production facility operated by Acciona Energía and Enagás in Lloseta. The green hydrogen will be transported to the Cas Tresorer injection point on the gas grid, serving over 115,000 households and businesses in the area. Initially set to transport 190 tonnes of green hydrogen per year, the pipeline is under construction since November 2023 and is planned to scale up to 575 tonnes annually. This innovative endeavor showcases Mallorca's commitment to sustainability and marks a significant milestone in the region's journey towards decarbonization and renewable energy integration.
