thyssenkrupp nucera to supply 300 MW electrolyzers for Moeve’s Onuba green-hydrogen plant

Key highlights
  • thyssenkrupp nucera will supply 300 MW (15 x 20 MW) alkaline water electrolyzers to Moeve for the Onuba project in Huelva, Spain.
  • Onuba's 300 MW capacity targets ~45,000 t/yr of green hydrogen production and ~250,000 t/yr CO2 savings.
  • Moeve took final investment decision in early March 2026; Onuba is the first phase of the Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley linking southern Spain's renewable supply and ports to European industry.

Contract details

thyssenkrupp nucera signed an engineering, procurement, fabrication and supply contract to deliver 300 MW of alkaline water electrolysis equipment (15 standardized 20‑MW electrolyzer units) for Moeve’s Onuba project at the La Rábida Energy Park in Huelva, Spain.

Capacity and impact

Onuba, the first phase of the Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley, has a nominal production capacity of about 45,000 tonnes of green hydrogen per year and is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by roughly 250,000 tonnes annually.

Timeline and strategic context

Moeve took final investment decision (FID) in early March 2026; the project leverages southern Spain’s solar and wind resources and strategic port and transport infrastructure to form a scalable hydrogen value chain supplying industrial demand across northern Europe.
