Room Has a huge site under Pyrenees That we can’t open. It is just as shocking as the colossal place sunk into the earth that bathes the United States. The need to find new clean energies that help us to meet the growing energy demand has led us to look for them in inhospitable places and to discover unthinkable so far.
One of the best fame is to acquire in recent years is hydrogen, which could be very quickly in the real protagonist of carbon. There are different types of hydrogen, according to their origins. There is green, which is obtained with the help of electricity of renewable origin and gray, generated by hydrocarbons.
Typologies, among other things, stands out for natural hydrogen, which accumulates in the depths of the Tierra. Can be the salvation of a large number of countries and Room He has it very close, although he has to solve various challenges to enjoy him.
Spain finds a huge site among the Pyrenees: it represents the first well in Europe
Room will enjoy the first source of Europe from which this type of underground hydrogen will be extracted. Under these circumstances, the land of Old continent It will be the most important European sustainable hydrogen supplier.
Helios Aragón PTEa subsidiary in Room From the Oil Corporation British petroleum Y Axionin its plans has the extraction of natural hydrogen and helium from two underground reserves in nearby areas of Monzón and Barbastro (Aragon). These two gases are not easy to find on the earth’s surface.
The company suggests an investment of 900 million euros to start the extraction of these resources by 2028. In this way the first natural hydrogen center would be determined on the continent, which gives rise to the rise of 300 direct and highly qualified tracks and 1500 indirect jobs.
However, the initiative has encountered considerable discomfort and is the current legislation on Spanish climate change. Pure hydrogen, which has never been extracted Europeis seen by the legislation of Room As a hydrocarbon (at the same height as oil), although it is not at the chemical level.
In this way to see pure hydrogen, the problem lies because the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons is prohibited in Room Since 2021. Confonted with this situation, the company increases the absorption of the exploitation of natural hydrogen in the Spanish law of minesexample of Francewho has already taken the step.
Spain has a natural hydrogen place, but cannot explode it for this reason
This gas also receives the denomination of gold hydrogen because it is practically impossible to find it in its pure version. The usual is to be generated from other substances. Energy specialists are on the market at a very competitive price (0.75 euros per kilo).
According to the information portal, the price of green hydrogen comes from the surplus of renewable energy sources, varies between 7 and 8 euros per kilo. For this reason, this discovery in the Pyrenees has increased the importance of investors.
The reserves are located in an area that is extended by almost 90,000 hectares, the company of which has exploratory permits at 60,200. The extraction of natural hydrogen in Spain is never executed or in EuropeBecause until recently it was of little use. So we can meet a legal funnel.
“With prospects in the well Monzón-1 0% hydrocarbons was registered, so it makes no sense that they are within the same legislation, “he said Ian Munro, the CEO of Helios AragónIn an interview with The Aragon -Newspaper.
Confirmed: Room Has a huge site under Pyrenees That can’t open. However, research can give us more than a surprise. While the future of the PyreneesThey ensure that Madrid is on a colossal energy site: it is sufficient for centuries.
