EQS-Media / 13.05.2024 / 11:07 CET/CEST Cepsa Selects thyssenkrupp nucera as Preferred Supplier of a 300-MW Electrolyzer for Green Hydrogen Plant in Spain thyssenkrupp nucera has received an award to provide a basic engineering design package, utilizing scalum modules, for a new green hydrogen plant Integration of a 300-MW electrolyzer featuring alkaline water electrolysis technology into the first phase of Cepsa's green hydrogen project in southern Spain, located at its energy park in Huelva Cepsa’s selection of thyssenkrupp nucera as a preferred supplier represents an important step for the development of the Cepsa-led Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley in southern Spain, one of the largest projects of its kind in Europe thyssenkrupp nucera’s technology to produce green hydrogen is about to be used again in a gigawatt electrolysis plant Dortmund / Rotterdam, 13 May, 2024 – thyssenkrupp nucera is the preferred supplier of a 300-megawatt (MW) electrolyzer for Cepsa’s green hydrogen plant in Spain. Under an agreement announced at the World Hydrogen Summit in Rotterdam, the Spanish energy company Cepsa has awarded the electrolyzer specialist a contract to provide a basic engineering design package. thyssenkrupp nucera, one of the world’s leading supplier of high-efficiency alkaline water electrolysis technology, will assist in the design and engineering of the facility through to the Final Investment Decision (FID). The project will use 15 of thyssenkrupp nucera’s standardized scalum electrolyzer units with a capacity of 20 MW each. The first phase of the project is a green hydrogen production plant at Cepsa’s La Rábida Energy Park in Palos de la Fronter (Huelva) as part of their partnership with Fertiberia. With a production up to 47,000 tons green hydrogen per year, it will form part of Cepsa’s wider plans to develop 2 gigawatt of green hydrogen capacity in southern Spain by 2030. “We are very pleased to be working with an innovative partner to create one of the largest hydrogen valleys in Europe and to contribute to Cepsa’s path to a gigawatt capacity,” says Dr. Werner Ponikwar, CEO of thyssenkrupp nucera.
