- HyDeal España aims to produce 150,000 tons of renewable hydrogen annually by 2026, reaching 330,000 tons by 2030.
- The project will utilize 9.5 GW of solar power and 7.4 GW of electrolyzers.
- Production is set to start by the end of 2025.
- ArcelorMittal and Grupo Fertiberia plan to contract 6.6 million tons of hydrogen over 20 years.
Project Overview
HyDeal España has partnered with VINCI Construction, Técnicas Reunidas, PowerChina Guizhou Engineering, and TSK to develop Europe's largest integrated renewable hydrogen hub. The project aims to be competitive with fossil fuels and will focus on designing high-performance, cost-effective solar-to-hydrogen systems.
Key Figures and Timeline
The project, announced in February 2022, is a joint venture involving ArcelorMittal, Enagás, Grupo Fertiberia, and DH2 Energy. It will deliver renewable hydrogen to an industrial complex in Asturias from facilities in northern Spain. The total installed capacity is expected to reach 9.5 GW of solar power and 7.4 GW of electrolyzers. Production is targeted to start by the end of 2025, with an initial annual output of 150,000 tons of renewable hydrogen by 2026, increasing to 330,000 tons by 2030.
Partnership Roles
VINCI Construction, Técnicas Reunidas, and PowerChina Guizhou Engineering will handle the basic design phase, focusing on technical design, architecture, and supply chain. TSK will act as the Owner’s Engineer, supporting the project to meet its ambitious cost targets. The EPC firms will present their initial technical and economic proposals within the year, after which HyDeal España will finalize the companies responsible for the Design Engineering Project (FEED) and subsequent project execution.
Future Collaboration
During the design engineering and project execution phases, the selected EPC companies will work closely with TSK to complete the development and construction of the renewable hydrogen production sites. The collaboration will also involve OEMs, particularly electrolyzer producers, to secure competitive equipment supply and support Europe-based industry.
