Iberdrola has selected Nel Hydrogen Electrolyser as its preferred supplier of the electrolyser for the former’s planned green hydrogen complex at Puertollano in Spain.
Nel’s Proton PEM solution is in line to be used as part of a commercial green hydrogen project with 20MW of installed capacity.
The €150m green hydrogen project, which is being developed jointly by Iberdrola and Fertiberia, aims to be operational in 2021.
It will comprise a 100MW solar plant, a lithium-ion battery system with a storage capacity of 20 megawatt-hours and the 20MW green hydrogen component.
The green hydrogen produced will be used in the Fertiberia ammonia factory in the same town.
Iberdrola and Fertiberia plan to eventually expand the green hydrogen plant’s capacity to 800MW at the Fertiberia plants in Puertollano and Palos de la Frontera in Huelva by 2027.
