H2Verde addresses the crucial challenge of decarbonising the energy system by using renewable hydrogen as an energy vector. This hydrogen is used as fuel in hydrogen fuel cells, in the decarbonisation of industrial activities, or to store surplus energy from renewable sources. The generation plant is located on PLOCAN’s offshore Oceanic Platform and using exclusively renewable energies, places the Canary Islands at the global energy forefront. The infrastructure designed by PLOCAN will be an island-scale prototype system, combining self-consumption, smart energy management through machine learning and artificial intelligence, marine technologies and energy storage. The generation of renewable hydrogen on this offshore platform will mark the path towards the complete decarbonisation of the electricity system and the economy in general.
Action lines
The Energía e Hidrógeno Renovable programme proposes various strategic actions to be carried out in coordination between the participating Spanish autonomous communities (Asturias, Aragon, Canary Islands, Castilla La Mancha, Basque Country, Navarra, Cantabria, Castilla y León, Extremadura, Community of Madrid and the CSIC) to establish, incorporate and consolidate renewable hydrogen as a solution for the
electrification of the national energy system as well as the decarbonisation of transport and industry.
