GAC Spain has established a new office at the Port of Huelva in Spain to bolster its services for the shipping and energy sectors, with a particular focus on supporting the green energy transition, including hydrogen initiatives. The company's strategic move follows a previous office opening at the Port of Algeciras to meet the needs of vessels passing through the region. GAC Spain's Managing Director highlighted the importance of their presence in Huelva and Algeciras as crucial for aiding their customers amidst the growing development of green hydrogen infrastructure in southern Spain.
The Port of Huelva, being part of the Andalusia Green Hydrogen Valley project, is set to host two green hydrogen production facilities that will contribute significantly to sustainable energy production. The facilities will have a substantial electrolysis capacity, enabling the annual production of a large amount of green hydrogen. Additionally, GAC emphasized the port's Sustainable Cold Logistics Hub, which leverages LNG port terminal cold residuals to power refrigerated storage, thereby reducing energy consumption and operational costs.
Furthermore, the Port of Huelva experienced notable growth in goods handling and bulk liquids movement in early 2024, reflecting its increasing importance in the industry. The positive momentum in the region's sustainable energy projects and logistics operations aligns with GAC Spain's commitment to providing efficient and environmentally friendly services to its customers.
