BP and Iberdrola to Develop Green Hydrogen Project in Spain
Key Ideas
  • BP and Iberdrola form a 50-50 joint venture to build a 25MW green hydrogen project in Spain, aimed at decarbonizing BP's refinery operations by 2026.
  • The project secured 15 million euros in funding from the Spanish Recovery Plan and is expected to avoid 23,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually.
  • The plant will convert 200 GWh/year of Iberdrola's renewable energy into green hydrogen, creating up to 500 new direct jobs during construction.
  • Iberdrola and BP's collaboration also extends to electric mobility projects in Spain and Portugal, showcasing a commitment to renewable energy development.
BP and Iberdrola have announced a joint venture to establish a 25MW green hydrogen project in Spain, focusing on decarbonizing BP's refinery operations in Castellón by 2026. The green hydrogen initiative, supported by 15 million euros from the Spanish Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan, is set to prevent the emission of 23,000 tons of CO2 per year. This project, powered by 200 GWh/year of Iberdrola's renewable energy, will also aid in creating around 500 new direct jobs during the construction phase, emphasizing the economic and environmental benefits of such initiatives. The electrolyzer, utilizing proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology from Plug Power, will be energized by Iberdrola's solar and wind projects through a power purchase agreement. The collaboration between BP and Iberdrola extends beyond this project to accelerate electric mobility in Spain and Portugal. Iberdrola's commitment to green hydrogen is further exemplified by partnerships with various entities to advance renewable energy development and expand transmission networks in Brazil.
