Spain opens Europe’s largest hydro • Table.Briefings

The combination of good solar and wind energy locations makes Spain an important building block for Europe’s hydrogen strategy. Germany also wants to participate in a project in the northwest of the country.

Spanish energy giant Iberdrola inaugurated what the company says is Europe’s largest green hydrogen plant for industrial use in the city of Puertollano in the Castilla-La Mancha region in mid-May. The 20-megawatt electrolyzer will produce up to 3,000 tons of green hydrogen per year. It will be fed by a 100-megawatt photovoltaic plant at the same site. The hydrogen will be used in a Fertiberia ammonia plant, enabling the production of fertilizers.
