Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley, with two main locations, Huelva (whit ONUBA and the Methanol Plant projects) and Algeciras (CARTEIA Project)

Cepsa’s project "Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley '' will install 2GW of electrolysis capacity: In Huelva, ONUBA Project is an agreement with Fertiberia to produce 400 MW of renewable hydrogen and ammonia with a direct power supply agreement, and the agreement with C2X to produce 200 MW of renewable hydrogen and renewable methanol. In CARTEIA, we will produce renewable hydrogen with EDP and renewable ammonia with Yara to decarbonise industries and the maritime sector also in central Europe.

PROJECT PARTNERS

In ONUBA, Fertiberia, Enagas Renovable and Alter Enersun // In Methanol Plant, C2X // In CARTEIA, EDP Renovables and Yara Clean Ammonia

We are helping Enagas, Spanish TSO, to develop the hydrogen pipeline infrastructure. An agreement with Ace Terminal and Gasunie in the Port of Rotterdam will facilitate the storage and distribution of hydrogen and its derivatives.

ONUBA, renewable hydrogen and ammonia production (end use): Decarbonised conventional fuels, HVO, Fertiberia decarbonisation and transport sector/Methanol Plant: maritime bunkering/CARTEIA, renewable ammonia production (end use): Yara & maritime bunkering

MAIN POLITICAL SPONSORS

For both projects we have collected several letters of support from public and private entities: town halls, regional authorities, technological associations, syndical organizations, banks, heavy industry, transport sector, fertilizer sector, etc.
