Spain ramps up support for green hydrogen
Government awards €1.21b of funding to seven large-scale projects as it chases capacity target of 12GW by 2030
Seven large-scale green hydrogen projects look set to move forward in Spain on the back of a major government funding programme, although the sector faces challenges in the form of cost overruns, construction delays and rising competition from datacentres for grid connections. The Spanish government has provisionally awarded funding of €1.21b ($1.3b) to a shortlist of seven projects totalling nearly 2.3GW of electrolysis capacity. The projects, which will mostly deploy alkaline electrolyser technology, span 11 facilities located in the regions of Aragon, Andalusia, Castile and Leon, Catalonia and Galicia, worth around €5b in total investments. 2.3GW – Total capacity All projects meet
