At the end
of February, the city of Tarragona was the setting for the 2nd Ebro Hydrogen
Corridor Forum, an outstanding event that brought together important political
figures from different autonomous communities in Spain. The forum focused on
the development and promotion of green hydrogen as a means to advance towards
the decarbonisation of industry, improve competitiveness and encourage new
investments in the participating regions, which already have 411 associated
entities and 215 projects underway.

During the
event, special emphasis was placed on Navarra’s experience and leadership in
the field of renewable energies, highlighting its three-decade commitment to
sustainable development. Mikel Irujo shared details of Navarra’s strategy to
integrate green hydrogen into its energy system, highlighting the installation
of 150 MW in electrolysers, the replacement of 5% of natural gas with green
hydrogen in the industrial sector and the creation of three public
hydrogenerators. These actions are part of an ambitious agenda financed by
European REACT funds and other support, projecting investments of between 500
and 750 million euros in the green hydrogen value chain.
