The Spanish Hydrogen Valley Alliance is born within the II H2V Congress in Huelva
In a step towards the decarbonisation of industrial and transport sectors of the national economy and the development of an industrial value chain, sixteen hydrogen valleys from all over Spain have met in Huelva, within the framework of the II National Congress of Green Hydrogen , to sign their membership in the Hydrogen Valleys Alliance .
These associations will work together to promote the renewable hydrogen value chain with the aim of positioning Spain as a relevant player in the European economy of this energy vector.
At the event, the representatives of the valleys were accompanied by the Minister of Industry, Energy and Mines of the Andalusian Government, Jorge Paradela ; the Secretary of State for Energy of the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, Joan Groizard ; and the Mayor of Huelva, Pilar Miranda .
In the words of the representatives of the Hydrogen Valley Alliance,
The main premise of this Alliance is to mark a before and after in the sustainable and competitive future that we intend to create in Spain.
“Collaboration between all the valleys is essential to overcome the climate and energy challenge that we all have in common and maintain the competitiveness of our industrial sector by taking advantage of the opportunity to develop new industry and technology . ”
Moving forward on collaborative projects
In order to carry out the various initiatives promoted around this energy vector, the sixteen hydrogen valleys in the country, made up of companies and other public and private organizations belonging to multiple parts of the value chain of this product, seek to collaborate to promote the development of local ecosystems around the hydrogen economy. They also aim to learn from the best practices of each of them, advance collaborative projects and improve the capacity for dialogue with the different Spanish and community institutions.
The Hydrogen Valley Alliance brings together 611 entities involved in around 333 projects, which involve, among others, the production of almost 900,000 t/year of hydrogen, and the abatement of more than 11 M t/year of CO2.
Renewable hydrogen is a key energy vector for realising Europe’s commitment to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 and for making progress in reducing energy dependence and greenhouse gases.
Spain, for its part, has an industrial fabric well positioned to support the development of green hydrogen and with ideal conditions to make this a key vector for the energy transition, as well as to achieve an opportunity for industrial, economic, social and technological development.
