RENEWABLE HYDROGEN
What is renewable hydrogen?
Renewable hydrogen ·
Renewable (also known as green) hydrogen is hydrogen produced by processes that use renewable energy sources, such as water electrolysis, with electricity from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, and with zero CO2 emissions, unlike grey hydrogen, which is obtained from fossil fuels.
Advantages ofrenewable hydrogen
Production technology that does not produce greenhouse gases.
Can be used to match up supply and demand.
Can be used in a variety of sectors, such as industry, transport and power production.
Contributes to reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
Key to theenergy transition
Renewable hydrogen is essential in the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy system for several reasons:
It enables fossil fuels to be replaced in hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy industry and transport.
It maximises the use of renewable energy sources.
It promotes a model in which hydrogen can be part of a wider renewable energy cycle.
The development of hydrogen as an energy vector will reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and, with its further development and corresponding optimisation, the sectors in which it is used can become more competitive.
In short, renewable hydrogen is not only a clean and versatile energy solution, but also has the potential to play a key role in the transition to a sustainable future, helping to mitigate climate change and promoting a low-carbon economy.
The plant ·
The plant
- The Basque Hydrogen plant will be located in the Port of Bilbao, at Punta Sollana.
- The plant will be connected to the synthetic fuels plant, located on the same site at the Port.
- It will be equipped with a 10 MW electrolyser, capable of producing around 1,600 t/year of renewable hydrogen.
- There will be a pipeline connection between the plant and the Petronor refinery. The refinery will be able to supply renewable hydrogen to the Abanto-Zierbana hydrogen refuelling station.
