Spain: Acciona and Enagás-led consortium Power to Green Hydrogen Mallorca has begun the construction of one of two planned solar power plants at Cemex España’s Lloseta plant in Majorca. The first, 13,500MWh/yr, plant will consist of 16,600 solar panels. A second, 10,800MWh/yr plant consisting of 12,700 panels will subsequently bring the total power capacity to 24,300MWh/yr. This is enough to produce 300t/yr of green hydrogen for the Lloseta cement plant’s operations.
The project to develop a ‘renewable hydrogen ecosystem’ in Majorca currently has Euro10.0m-worth of funding. The consortium has agreed with local to sheep farmers to allow the latter to use the solar power plant sites for grazing after construction is finished.
