REVISTA DYNA ENERGÍA

Its objective is to develop Europe's first 100 megawatt (MW) high-pressure alkaline electrolyzer plant, which will be connected to a Repsol industrial center.

The entities that are part of the consortium represent the entire hydrogen value chain and belong to six countries (Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, including IDOM, Norway and Turkey). Partners include research centers, materials suppliers, engineering companies specialized in electrolyzers, electro-intensive industries, energy and automotive companies, universities and industry associations.

The project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of a large-scale electrolyzer, improving the competitiveness of this technology, reducing the investment required for its construction, as well as operating costs, to reach 3 euros/kg of renewable hydrogen.

The project will provide quantitative evidence that will reduce the risk in the deployment of infrastructures necessary for the implementation of renewable hydrogen as an energy vector throughout Europe. It foresees three years of research, development and construction of the electrolyzer, and two additional years of operation for the demonstration and validation of the technology.

This initiative will provide a major boost to technological development in renewable hydrogen production and will have a positive impact on other industries, such as mobility, refining, synthetic fuels production and renewable energy generation.
