The hydrogen plant is scheduled to commence operations in 2021
Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser, a division of Nel ASA, has been selected as the preferred supplier by Iberdrola for a 20 MW PEM solution for a green fertilizer project in Spain. The contract award is subject to a mutual agreement on the final commercial terms. The hydrogen plant is scheduled to commence operations in 2021.
Nel is a global company providing solutions for the production, storage and distribution of hydrogen from renewable energy sources, based in Oslo.
“We are very excited and honored that Iberdrola prefers to use a PEM electrolyzer solution from Nel for this landmark green fertilizer project. It is a true testament to our PEM platform, which has been deployed all over the world for several decades. We continuously work to develop larger systems, and with this project, our PEM platform will be designed into a 20 MW solution. We have over the course of the last year been working on both alkaline and PEM large-scale solutions, which serve different customer needs, and we look forward to providing our PEM solution for this project,” says Filip Smeets, SVP Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser, Nel Hydrogen Fueling.
Iberdrola, one of the largest electric utilities in the world, has together with a world-leading fertilizer manufacturer Fertiberia launched a project to establish the largest green hydrogen plant in Europe. Located in Puertollano, Spain it will feature a 100 MW photovoltaic plant, a battery installation with a storage capacity of 20 MWh, and a 20 MW electrolyser. The hydrogen produced in the project will primarily be used for green fertilizer production. The 20 MW electrolyser is scheduled to commence operations in 2021.
