Advancing Sustainable Energy: Spain's La Robla Green Project Signals Major Leap in Decarbonization
Key Ideas
  • Técnicas Reunidas and Siemens Energy have been selected for the FEED contract of the La Robla Green project, aiming to produce 140,000 tons of green methanol annually in Spain.
  • The project combines advanced technology from industry leaders like Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Johnson Matthey, enhancing sustainability through CO2 capture and renewable hydrogen utilization.
  • Spain's Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge provided €180 million in funding for the initiative, driving decarbonization efforts and creating renewable hydrogen clusters across various regions.
  • The La Robla Green project highlights Spain's role as a pioneer in renewable methanol production, contributing significantly to global decarbonization and reinforcing the country's commitment to sustainable energy solutions.
The La Robla Green project in La Robla, León, Spain, is a significant initiative in advancing renewable energy solutions and decarbonization efforts. Técnicas Reunidas and Siemens Energy have secured the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for this project, which aims to produce 140,000 tons of green methanol annually by utilizing biogenic carbon and renewable hydrogen. This green methanol production technology is crucial for decarbonizing the maritime sector and reducing carbon footprints in industries like chemicals, air transport, and shipping. The project involves key industry leaders, including Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for CO2 capture technology and Johnson Matthey for eMERALD™ technology that enables the hydrogenation of captured CO2 into methanol. Siemens Energy will manage the renewable hydrogen unit, while Técnicas Reunidas will oversee biogenic carbon capture and e-methanol production. The funding received from the Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge supports the development of renewable hydrogen clusters, further promoting sustainable energy solutions. The La Robla Green project is set to play a vital role in global decarbonization efforts and solidify Spain's position as a leader in renewable methanol production. Reolum and Técnicas Reunidas, with their expertise in decarbonization technologies, are driving innovative projects like this, contributing to the energy transition and sustainability goals. With a strong focus on clean fuels and industrial facilities, Técnicas Reunidas is well-equipped to lead the construction of the La Robla Green plant, marking a significant milestone in Spain's journey towards a greener future.
