Its role Funder
IDAE (Instituto para la Diversificación y Ahorro de la Energía) is a Spanish public agency focused on advancing energy efficiency, renewable energy deployment, and economy-wide decarbonization. It develops support programs, provides technical guidance, and helps mobilize investment to expand clean energy technologies across sectors.
For the chemical and process industries, IDAE’s priorities include renewable gases (biogas and biomethane), sustainable fuels (including advanced biofuels and synthetic e-fuels), green hydrogen and related infrastructure, industrial electrification and heat recovery, and energy management systems. The agency backs pilot and scale-up projects, manages incentive and financing schemes, and promotes public–private collaboration to accelerate low‑carbon technologies and improve resource efficiency. Its initiatives aim to reduce energy intensity and emissions in industrial operations while supporting Spain’s climate and energy objectives.
Also known as Instituto para la Diversificación y Ahorro de la Energía.
chemXplore tracks 2 projects involving IDAE, of which 2 are active.
Closest to start-up first.
Plans include renewable hydrogen, a renewable-fuel plant, pumped hydro expansion and a circular methanol facility; extends customer fuel discounts and launches a new €950m buyback.
Inventory-driven earnings and Middle East volatility prompt €1.2bn stock build, kerosene output up 15–20%, €35m in fuel discounts at stations to date.
Acquires majority stake leaving Enagás with 20%; portfolio exceeds 850MW electrolysis, 20+ projects and eight FIDs, including Cartagena (2025) and Onuba (first 300MW FID Mar 2026).
44 ageing turbines replaced by 10 new units; capacity rises from 60 to 90 MW and output to 300 GWh/yr. 14.26 MW (28.51 MWh) batteries added. €5M local co-investment; full repower by 2027.
A new 100 MW electrolyzer at Petronor will produce 15,000 tons of renewable hydrogen annually, cutting 167,000 tons of CO₂ emissions and creating 900 jobs. Completion is set for 2029.
The alliance creates a Green Molecules Innovation Chair to advance biofuels, synthetic fuels, and sustainable energy through research, training, and public-private collaboration.
A 100 MW electrolyzer in Cartagena will produce 15,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually, cutting 167,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions, with €155 million in EU funding. Operational by 2029.
Projects paused due to regulatory issues, impacting Spain's green hydrogen goals. Repsol shifts focus to Portugal, citing need for stable policies to support energy transition investments.
