Aragon is the most advanced autonomous community of the call to help to create large valleys or green hydrogen clusters from the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (Miteco)He will distribute – according to the resolution proposal – in total 1,214 million euros under seven projects.
He Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (Miteco) has the provisional resolution proposal of the call for help for the development of the development of Great renewable hydrogen valleys. Seven projects in Aragon, Andalusia, Castilla y León, Cataluña and Galicia receive more than a billion euros from the funds Nextgenerationeu.
Sara Aagesen: “Los Projects will create around 9,000 direct jobs and about 11,000 indirectlyduring construction and operation; Moreover, 90% of the electrolyzers of European production is.

According to the provisional proposal for resolution, The seven beneficiary projects of the H2 Valles program are located in Aragon, Andalusia, Castilla y León, Cataluña and Galicia.
Generally, These new developments will add 2,278 MW of electrolysis capacity in 11 facilities and mobilize investments of nearly 5,000 million eurosS.
Clusters of valleys are essential for the production and use of green hydrogen in large industrial poles and integrate all phases of the value chain in grouped enclaves grouped.
1,214 million euros in ‘Game’
He Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (Miteco) has published the provisional proposal of the provisional resolution of the call for help to the Creation of large valleys or renewable hydrogen clustersThat can be consulted here.
A total of 1,214 million euros in money Nextgeu Up to seven projects in Aragon, Andalusia, Castilla y León, Cataluña and Galicia. This was announced this morning the Vice President Sara AagesenWho emphasized that It is a call for strategic relevance that progresses the agenda of carbon poverty. Ecosystems that consolidate an energy of the future will be generated that remain.
The seven projects will create around 9,000 direct jobs and about 11,000 indirectlyduring construction and operation; Moreover, 90% of the electrolytes of European production are.
The seven beneficiaries of the H2 Valles program They propose developments with a total electrolysis capacity of 2,278 MW for the production of renewable hydrogen in 11 differentiated facilities, Because the bases of the call allow more than one cluster location if the distance between them is less than 100 km.
Together they will mobilize investments worth 4,907 million. The proposal is still subject to technical accusations that can lead to changes in the selected list, according to the final score that each project has been obtained.
The seven projects of the provisional resolution proposal have a Electrolysis power for the production of renewable hydrogen that widely exceeds the minimum threshold of 100 MW in the bases of the call. They all also guarantee the required purchasing obligations of at least 60% of that production by different consumers (offtakers) Industrial.
The best rated files They also contain connected facilities for renewable generation and perform additional processes of synthesis, storage and/or fuel transport Verdes Renewable hydrogen derivatives As him Free For aviation, the e-methanol or ammonia. With regard to electrolysis technology, the promoters of the provisional projects have chosen the alkaline way in a majority way.
When removing merits, In addition to technical strength and economic solvency Ranging from creating jobs, local economic development, emission reduction, gender equality, as well as local training, among other things.
Promote large scale production and consumption of renewable hydrogen and are derived fuels
The purpose of this line of stimuli that the Institute for Diversification and Energy Saving (IDAE), attached to MitecoAsh Promote large scale production and consumption of renewable hydrogen and are derived fuels to stimulate the complete integration of this vector there mix Spanish energy and acceleration CO2 emission reduction From wide sectors of our industry and heavy transport.
The clusters or hydrogen valleys Verde They form an essential element when collecting in multiple phases of the hydrogen value chain; From production and storage to distribution and consumption. So scale benefits, possible diversity of consumers in the same area and the multiplier effect that this may have are used.
Integrated energy and climate (PNIEC)
The impulse for creating renewable hydrogen clusters, linked to component 31 of the Prtrtress and to the mechanism Reportereu The committee is provided for in the Ehra -loss y It is considered decisive to achieve the objectives indicated in the renewable hydrogen roadmap (4 GW in 2030) and in the assessment of the Integrated energy and climate (PNIEC)which provides 12 GW electrolysis capacity before 2030 before 2030.
The incentives for renewable hydrogen valleys It is preceded by the high degree of interest and participation in the earlier calls of H2 -Pioniers, H2 values chain and three important projects of common European interest ((Ipcei Hy2Tech, Hy2USE Y HY2MOVE). Fruit of these initiatives are underway more than a hundred developments during Spanish geography; Both experimental proposals to generate knowledge about renewable hydrogen, such as applications in mobility and transport, or large electrolyders to generate this energy sector.
Endowed with more than 3,100 of million, the Betting on green hydrogen has led to the fact that, in just two years, Spain is already able to launch help that multiplies in various orders of size, the production capacity of the renewable hydrogen of the first funded projects.
As the RoadmapIn Spain, nowadays more than 500,000 tons are consumed a year of the so -called “gray hydrogen”, of fossil origin. There is a huge potential for the intestinal leaf in the industry And at the same time it makes it possible to replace other fossil fuels or other raw materials with renewable hydrogen.
