In Spain, ACCIONA Energía has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Aruba owned Energy Entities to work together in the development of a Green Hydrogen Valley on the island.
ACCIONA Energía said it will work with Energy Entities of Aruba to develop, construct and operate a green hydrogen plant powered by a self-consumption renewable energy project. The electricity generated will be used to produce green hydrogen and the excess will be used internally on the island to reduce the use of imported fossil fuels.
The Spanish firm said that the project will utilize land currently owned by state-owned refinery, Refineria di Aruba N.V., water will be supplied by WEB Aruba, whilst Elmar will manage energy distribution and transmission across the network.
ACCIONA Energía also said it will support Energy Entities of Aruba with the deployment of the necessary infrastructure to build a renewable hydrogen ecosystem on the island and explore supplementary uses for the green hydrogen, including export opportunities.
