Spain and Portugal Positioned for €5.85/kg Green Hydrogen Production
Key Ideas
- Mibgas introduced the IBHYX, a price index indicating the minimum price for profitable renewable hydrogen sales in Spain and Portugal at €5.85/kg.
- The levelised cost of hydrogen (LCOH) production in the region adheres to RFNBO criteria and considers all financial and operational costs.
- DH2 has plans to develop 1.5GW of green hydrogen capacity in Spain's Extremadura region, reflecting a positive trend towards renewable energy investments.
- The price index will be updated weekly to reflect fluctuations in power purchase agreements for renewable energy sources and CO2 emissions costs.
Mibgas has released the IBHYX, the first Iberian renewable hydrogen price index, indicating that green hydrogen could be produced in Spain and Portugal at €5.85/kg. This index will serve as a benchmark for producers to ensure profitability while adhering to RFNBO criteria. The calculation of the levelised cost of hydrogen (LCOH) considers the full range of costs involved in production, including renewable electricity sources. DH2's plans to develop 1.5GW of green hydrogen capacity in Spain's Extremadura region further highlight the growing investment in renewable energy. The price index will be regularly updated to reflect changes in power purchase agreements for renewable energy, along with the cost of CO2 emissions, providing a dynamic view of the green hydrogen market.
