Creation of a 150 MW hydrogen production facility in Asturias, Spain.
The Asturias H2 Valley Project is a pioneering initiative aiming to produce and distribute renewable hydrogen with the goal of decarbonizing the economy in the region of Asturias, Spain. This project will transform the current coal-fired power plant of Aboño into a renewable hydrogen plant with an electrolysis capacity of 150 megawatts (MW), thus achieving a relative reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of 99.98%.
An unprecedented project
This project will prove the viability of a fully integrated hydrogen production and distribution process, optimized according to the availability of renewable energy (wind and solar) and consumer demand.
During the process of gradual elimination of the coal-fired power plant, the hydrogen plant will reuse the existing facilities and infrastructures in order to:
- Reduce the initial investment costs
- Reduce environmental impact
- Reduce the time required for administrative processing and obtaining permits
