Green hydrogen from Spain: Construction start for Southern Europe's largest green hydrogen plant
In Andalusia, the construction of a plant is starting that is supposed to supply 50,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year – with electricity from wind and sun and water from treated wastewater.
Moeve, a Spanish energy company, has begun constructing the largest green hydrogen production facility in Southern Europe in Palos de Frontera, Andalusia. The "Onuba" project involves an initial investment of €1 billion and a capacity of 300 megawatts to produce 50,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year through water electrolysis. The project, supported by €304 million from the Next Generation EU programme, is expected to start production by the end of 2027.
The facility will use renewable energy sources and treated wastewater to operate, with plans to expand to 2,000 megawatts and produce 300,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year in a second phase.
