In Spain, Enagás Renovable and Naturgy have unveiled a project for the construction of a renewable hydrogen plant with a production capacity of up to 280 MW. This new plant, scheduled to start operations in 2026 and with an estimated investment of $518.5 million, will be located on the site of Naturgy’s former thermal power plant, which was authorized to close in 2020 and is currently in the process of being decommissioned. Enagás Renovable and Naturgy have set up the joint venture Robla Hub to carry out the project. “This project will allow the development of renewable hydrogen production, promoting a quantum leap to develop economies of scale and improve competitiveness,” said Silvia Sanjoaquín, Director of New Businesses at Naturgy. The renewable hydrogen production plant in La Robla will prevent the emission of more than 430,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere per year.
