Bp and Iberdrola Boost Green Hydrogen Project with 900,000 Euro Investment
Key Ideas
- Bp and Iberdrola inject 900,000 euros into Castellón Green Hydrogen SL for the development of a 25 MW green hydrogen project at the bp refinery in Castelló.
- The project involves a total investment of 70 million euros, 15 million of which are from EU funds, and is expected to create up to 500 jobs.
- The initiative, part of a larger 2 billion green hydrogen hub project, is aimed at decarbonizing refinery operations and preventing the emission of 23,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.
- The green hydrogen plant will produce 2,800 tonnes of hydrogen per year, with the electrolyser powered by renewable electricity from Iberdrola's photovoltaic and wind projects.
Bp and Iberdrola have together injected 900,000 euros into Castellón Green Hydrogen SL, a joint venture established for the development of a green hydrogen project in Castelló, Spain. This initiative is part of a strategic alliance to construct a 25 MW green hydrogen plant at the bp refinery, with an expected operational date in the second half of 2026. The endeavor, backed by 15 million euros from EU funds, aims to create 500 jobs and is the inaugural action of a larger 2 billion green hydrogen project. The project includes the use of regenerated water for operations and renewable electricity from Iberdrola to power the electrolyser, producing 2,800 tonnes of green hydrogen annually and reducing CO2 emissions significantly. This significant investment marks a milestone in the green hydrogen sector, signaling a transition towards sustainable energy and job creation in the region.
