Orange.bat

The project consists of an electrolyser of 100 MW to produce green H2 (13 000 t p.a.) in the Municipality of Onda (Valencian Community, Spain) under Hydrogen Purchase Agreements to Industrial Offtakers (ceramic cluster) and for Mobility. The COD is Q1 2027. The H2 will be distributed through a new H2 grid. The green electricity required will be provided by PPAs from renewable energy plants. We partner with leading technology-players in the H2 industry and other EU equipment suppliers.
