In March, Iberdrola will start producing green hydrogen in Puertollano, Spain.
In a press release, the executive director of Iberdrola Renovables , Julio Castro , has advanced the dates on which the production of Puertollano will begin .
It was during the visit made by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez , and the President of the Community Board, Emiliano García-Page , to the National Hydrogen Center.
The project has successfully passed the first tests, so it works as expected.
Consequently, Iberdrola has announced that: Puertollano will start producing hydrogen molecules in a few weeks.
Castro has highlighted that the Puertollano plant is “ the largest in Europe ”. It will serve Fertiberia and will be supplied with sustainable energy. That: “ gives the clear, concise and real concept of green hydrogen ”. Thanks for staying up to date with Hydrogen Central.
The Puertollano photovoltaic
The company has started the start-up phase of the photovoltaic plant in Puertollano (Ciudad Real), with 100 MW of installed power.
This new photovoltaic plant, Castro has indicated, will supply clean energy to produce green hydrogen. Along these lines, he has assessed that this infrastructure to generate hydrogen will be: “ the first in Europe to use this type of fuel in its processes ”.
In addition, he has stated that it is the first photovoltaic installation in the country that has batteries, bifacial panels and energy inverter technology.
In this regard, Iberdrola has explained that these batteries will have a storage capacity of 20 MWh . They will provide more backup capacity in periods of high demand, shifting solar production to times with less or no radiation, such as at night.
It has also reported that this new facility will have an annual production of 155,906 MWh . That is, the equivalent of supplying clean energy to more than 47,000 homes. With this, the emission of more than 30,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year will be avoided.
In March, Iberdrola will start producing green hydrogen in Puertollano, February, 2022
