ICONSA, an IDEA Group company, has been awarded the specialised O&G engineering works for the largest green hydrogen plant in Europe for IBERDROLA.
Our colleagues at ICONSA will provide the specialised O&G engineering services to carry out the “Green H2 Plant” project for IBERDROLA at Puertollano, during the first half of 2021.
A pioneer in renewable energies, Iberdrola has started work on what will be the largest green hydrogen plant for industrial use in Europe, and ICONSA, a member of the IDEA, Group, has been awarded the contract for the development of the basic and detailed engineering activities for the safety valve and flare discharge systems for H2 streams and the reception, compression and delivery of O2.
It is a strategic project that is framed within IDEAGREEN, which is the IDEA GROUP’s corporate strategy towards the decarbonisation of the planet.
Iconsa will carry out the development of the basic and detailed engineering activities for the safety valve and flare discharge systems for H2 streams and the reception, compression and delivery of O2.
Iberdrola will be supported by ICONSA and the IDEA Group, for the design of the largest green hydrogen plant in Europe.
About the largest green hydrogen plant in Europe
The Puertollano (Ciudad Real) plant will consist of a 100 MW solar photovoltaic plant, a lithium-ion battery system with a storage capacity of 20 MWh and one of the largest electrolysis hydrogen production systems in the world (20 MW), all from 100 % renewable sources.
The green hydrogen produced there will be used in the ammonia factory that Fertiberia has in the town. The plant will achieve high purity hydrogen and oxygen production by means of polymer electrolysis, with a production capacity of around 720 tH2/year of hydrogen and 5,800 tO2/year of oxygen and will be based on the 20 MW Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology by NEL.
It will comprise a 100 MW solar photovoltaic plant, a lithium-ion battery system with a storage capacity of 20 MWh and one of the largest electrolysis hydrogen production systems in the world (20 MW).
