He Hydrogen is a universal fuel that is very light and is very combustible and reactive. He hydrogen green oh hydrogen Renewable, it is the one prevents water electrolysis from electricity from renewable sources.
This Technology is based on the use of electrical current to separate hydrogen from the oxygen in the water. The idea is that if that electricity is obtained from renewable sources, we will produce energy without broadcasting carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
Therefore, A green hydrogen plant is that installation that produces hydrogen as an energy sector and, moreover, the energy used in its process has renewable origin. In the production process, carbon dioxide is not issued and storage is possible. It can then be transported by gas infrastructure or by heavy means of transport (trucks or boat
The Minister of University, Innovation and Digital Transformation, Juan Luis García, today informed the Board of Directors of the AgriFood City of Tudela (CAT), a public company consisting of the Public Business Corporation of Navarra (CPEN), about signing a lease agreement of a plot of 18.54. In this area, Statkraft and Grupo Enhol will build and operate a production factory hydrogen Verde, Key in the transition to a more sustainable energy model.
The contract, which includes a purchase option, states the installation of a Production Factory of Vast Hydrogen Renewable with 5 megawatts of power and a production capacity of 742 tons per year. The Energy used in the process comes from renewable sources, mainly wind and solar energyEnsure that all production is 100 % green.
The Minister Garcia emphasized that “this strategic project for the Navarra government will provide benefits for both our companies and society, promoting the energy transition in which Navarra was committed.” “We consider,” he said, “that Green hydrogen is a great opportunity for this territory And especially for the riverbank, which re -confirms our dedication and dedication to this area of the Foral community.
Duration of the contract
The contract includes the possibility that Statkraft group Inhol supplies green hydrogen directly to the cat cogeneration plant through a watercolorfacilitating access to this clean fuel, as a commitment to the ontoing of the aforementioned installation and compliance with the regulations. In that sense, Garcia has emphasized that “the future of our territory will be sustainable, and the Agri -Food Stad Tudela, together with the river bank, will play a key role in the construction of a much cleaner industry.
The formalization of This contract was carried out after an evaluation process Under the leadership of the Navarra Industry Association (AIN), in which various companies that have shown interest in the project have participated.
During the selection, aspects such as technical economic capacity, the power of the plant, the Use of renewable means, project planning and their impact.
The proposal of the Statkraft-Group has achieved the best score by ‘presenting a plan that generates a greater advantage for Navarra Society in Conditions of Environment -Impact and Technical and Economic viability “As indicated by the Minister Garcia.
He The contract sets a maximum period of three years before the start of the worksWith the possibility of extension for administrative reasons. The activity in the cat also considers a duration of 20 years, a period that can also be extended later. According to the first plan of the company, construction starts in the second semester of 2026 and the factory will start in 2027.
Navarra bets on a Clean Energy model
He Green hydrogen is one of the most important energy sources of the futureBecause it makes greater integration of renewable energy sources possible, dependence on fossil fuels reduces and minimizes greenhouse gas emissions.
Its use in industry is especially relevant, because many sectors require large quantities hydrogen In his productive processes. Currently, most of this gas is obtained by reforming natural gasA process that generates polluting emissions.
Instead LA green hydrogen production by electrolyzers offers a more sustainable alternative And plays a fundamental role in the transition to a cleaner energy model.
With this project, Navarra strengthens its leadership in renewable energy and It is tailored to the strategies of the Navarra Energy Plan and the low -carbon objectives of the European Union.
