BP and Iberdrola's Hyval Project: Green Hydrogen Production in Spain
Key Ideas
  • BP and Iberdrola have reached a crucial phase in their Hyval project in Spain, with BP making a final investment decision on the first phase of the project which aims to have an electrolysis capacity of up to 2GW by 2030.
  • The plan involves producing green hydrogen for use at BP's Spanish refinery and for biofuel applications, particularly in the aviation sector.
  • BP estimates that the conversion of its refinery to green hydrogen production would require investments of up to EUR 2bn, signaling a significant commitment to sustainable energy solutions.
  • In addition to the Spanish Hyval project, BP also highlighted a 100 MW project at the Lingen refinery in Germany, which received state support from the German government for hydrogen infrastructure development.
BP and Iberdrola are advancing their Hyval project in Spain, where BP has made a final investment decision on the initial phase. The project aims to have an electrolysis capacity of up to 2GW by 2030, producing green hydrogen for the Spanish refinery and biofuel, especially for aircraft. The first phase involves a 25MW electrolysis capacity, with plans for further expansion, potentially reaching 200MW by 2027 and a final 2GW project later in the decade. The conversion of the refinery to green hydrogen production is expected to cost up to EUR 2bn. This project is part of a broader initiative, with BP also highlighting a 100 MW project in Germany. The German project received state support under the EU's Ipcei for hydrogen infrastructure development, showcasing a growing commitment to green technology and sustainable energy solutions.
