Green Hydrogen pioneers
Iberdrola leads the development of green hydrogen
In our mission to lead the energy transition, Iberdrola is spearheading the development of green hydrogen with over 60 projects in eight countries (Spain, the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil and the United States, among others) to meet the demand for electrification and decarbonisation in sectors such as industry and heavy transport. We have created a new green hydrogen business unit within the company, with the aim of becoming the world leader in this technology. Our group is addressing the technological challenge of producing and supplying green hydrogen from clean energy sources, using a technology that will be competitive much sooner than expected, according to a report by UK consultancy Rethink Energy.

Europe's largest green hydrogen plant for the production of zero emissions fertilisers
The Puertollano (Ciudad Real) plant consist of a 100 MW photovoltaic solar plant, a lithium-ion battery system with a storage capacity of 20 MWh and one of the largest electrolytic hydrogen production systems in the world (20 MW). All from 100% renewable sources.
A total of 150 million euros has been invested in the project, an initiative that will create up to 1,000 jobs and avoid emissions of 48,000 tCO2/year.

An energy vector that will be competitive much sooner than expected
According to a report by UK-based consultancy Rethink Energy, new energy vector will be competitive by 2024, with costs three times lower than today's by 2035. The report suggests that its cost will fall from the current $3.70/kg to just over $1/kg by 2035, and to $0.75/kg by 2050. By that date, the cost reduction will be more than 95 per cent from 2020 levels, which will increase global demand tenfold. As part of its objective to lead this new energy vector, the Iberdrola group has been a pioneer in making green hydrogen a reality with projects in two main areas: industrial use and heavy transport.
This is one of the most efficient solutions to help the most polluting industrial sectors transform their processes and become more sustainable. Thanks to the collaboration with pioneering and forward-looking companies, we have before us tangible examples of green hydrogen production that are already a reality.

Green hydrogen: an alternative that reduces emissions and cares for our planet
Green hydrogen is a great growth vector for Iberdrola, that is already developing several projects that will enable the decarbonisation of industry and heavy transport in Spain and the United Kingdom, as well as the development of its value chain. We have a mature project portfolio of 2,400 MW by 2025 and expect to produce 350,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year by 2030. In addition, Iberdrola has submitted 54 projects to the Next Generation EU programme, which would trigger investments of €2.5 billion.
What are hydrogen stations and how do they work?
Green hydrogen is one of the great alternatives in terms of sustainable mobility, and for this hydrogen stations, or hydrogen pumps, which function as a refuelling station for this fuel, are necessary. The aim is for Spain to have a network of more than 100 hydrogen stations by 2030.
