Hygreen Energy, in collaboration with Spanish energy utility Coxabengoa, is set to invest €2bn in green hydrogen projects in Andalusia, Spain. The plans include establishing new green hydrogen plants and a factory for producing electrolysers. This investment is expected to position Andalusia as a key player in green hydrogen development in Spain and Europe, leveraging the region's abundant wind and solar energy potential. The European Commission's approval of a €1.2bn Spanish scheme further supports investments in renewable hydrogen production, aligning with Spain's Hydrogen Roadmap introduced in 2020. Spain aims to achieve 74% of its electricity generation through renewables by 2030, with green hydrogen serving as a crucial component in this transition to a greener economy. The electrolyser production factory in Andalusia will focus on manufacturing 5MW electrolysers with the potential to scale up to 5GW capacity. This initiative not only signifies a strategic commitment to the region but also highlights the importance of green hydrogen in achieving sustainable energy goals.
