H2 Generation plant

The renewable hydrogen generation plant consists of three main elements:

Fuel cell


Device that performs the reverse process of the electrolyser. From the stored hydrogen and the oxygen present in the air, it generates electrical energy that can be used to cover the electrical demand of the platform.

Electrolyser


Uses electricity to break down the water molecule, obtaining oxygen and hydrogen. In this case, it is a PEM type electrolyser that uses electrical energy from totally renewable sources.

H₂ Storage


Once generated in the electrolyser, gaseous hydrogen is stored in pressurised cylinders for use when needed.

Energía e Hidrógeno Renovable, H2VERDE, is a project under Investment 1 of Component 17 of the Spanish Government’s Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia (PRTR), financed with Next Generation EU funds, through the Mecanismo de Recuperación y Resiliencia (MRR).
