The DH2 Energy initiatives under way in Extremadura represent total investment of €2.25 billion.
These sites, all located in the province of Badajoz, have a combined electrolysis capacity of around 1.5 GW. Overall, these plants are capable of generating more than 75,000 tons of renewable hydrogen per year.
According to the latest survey conducted by Spanish hydrogen industry association AeH2, DH2 Energy has the largest portfolio of renewable hydrogen production facilities under development in both Spain and Extremadura.
“Extremadura is one of the Spanish regions with greatest potential for renewable hydrogen production because it possesses all the necessary solar and hydro resources in abundance. What's more, there's a willingness to encourage deployment on the part of both the regional government and the local councils in the towns where DH2 Energy is building plants.
“Extremadura also has a favorable regulatory framework that includes specific legislation designed to promote renewable hydrogen. In addition, a section of the hydrogen transport network planned by Enagás will be built in Extremadura. This national infrastructure is set to give renewable hydrogen a better boost in coming years," explained DH2 Energy's Managing Director, Marcos López-Brea Baquero.
DH2 Energy's most advanced project in development in Extremadura is Raviza, located in the municipalities of Hornachos, Puebla del Prior and Ribera del Fresno. Raviza will produce 25,000 tons of renewable hydrogen per year.
DH2 Energy has a further 3 projects under development in Extremadura: Badajoz 2, which will generate around 8,500 tons of renewable hydrogen per year, is located in Mérida; Badajoz 3, set to produce approximately 17,000 tons of renewable hydrogen per year, spans the municipalities of Badajoz, Mérida and La Roca de la Sierra; and finally, the output from Badajoz 4, located solely in Badajoz, will amount to 25,000 tons per year.
Headquartered in Madrid, DH2 Energy operates on the Iberian Peninsula and in France, Mexico and Uruguay, among other markets.
