Green Hydrogen and Methanol Production Plant to Revolutionize Decarbonization in Asturias
Key Ideas
  • The Musel GreenMet project in Gijon, Spain, will have an initial electrolysis capacity of 50 MW, producing up to 100,000 tons of e-methanol annually, with plans to expand to 100 MW in the future.
  • HyFive, backed by White Summit Capital, is investing 250 million euros in the project, creating up to 500 construction jobs, 40 direct jobs, and 120 indirect jobs once operational.
  • Supported by the H2 Pioneros program and EU funding, the plant aims to reduce up to 175,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually by using green hydrogen and capturing CO2 from local industries.
  • The project not only contributes to decarbonization efforts in Asturias but also integrates with the H2Med pipeline hydrogen transport infrastructure, fostering a regional green fuels ecosystem.
The HyFive project, led by White Summit Capital, is set to transform decarbonization efforts in Asturias, Spain, with the establishment of the Musel GreenMet plant in Gijon. This initiative, supported by the H2 Pioneros program and EU funding, will kick off construction in 2025 and commence operations by 2027. The plant's innovative approach includes an initial electrolysis capacity of 50 MW, producing e-methanol and aiming to scale up to 100 MW in the future. By utilizing green hydrogen and capturing CO2 from nearby industries, the project targets a significant reduction of 175,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually. Additionally, the initiative is expected to create numerous job opportunities, with up to 500 jobs in the construction phase and 160 jobs once operational. Gonzalo López Medina highlighted the importance of collaboration with local stakeholders for the project's success. The strategic location of the plant in the port of Gijon not only facilitates local employment but also aligns with the EU's decarbonization objectives and the development of green mobility solutions. As part of HyFive's broader portfolio, the Musel GreenMet project exemplifies a commitment to sustainable practices and the accelerated transition to renewable energy sources.
