It’s Extremadura’s turn in our series devoted to the Spanish autonomous communities’ green hydrogen strategy. It strives to produce 20% of the green hydrogen due to be generated in Spain by 2030.
Enagás is leading the transition towards a sustainable and decarbonised economy through a number of innovation projects focusing on renewable hydrogen, one of the up-and-coming solutions for the decarbonisation of the global energy system.
Renewable hydrogen is undoubtedly a key energy vector that is shaping the energy transition agenda. Development is advancing rapidly, but it is still largely unknown, which means that perceptions of it can lead to confusion in certain areas.
The metallurgical sector is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. According to McKinsey & Company, steel, aluminium and other metal production accounts for around 8% of global CO₂ emissions and has come under scrutiny to reduce its environmental impact.
Several communities have already begun to deploy their own strategies to attract investment, promote industrial projects and create local ecosystems, as is the case of Castilla-La Mancha, a community with great potential in renewable energies and a strong institutional commitment to place itself on the green hydrogen map.
We interview María Junco, General Manager of Technical Management of the Gas System at Enagás. She gives us her views on the future of the gas system, the integration of renewable gases into it and Spain's role in the European energy context.
Electrolysers have become a key part of green hydrogen production. In this article we explain what they are, how they work and why they are key to the energy transition.
The Spanish Government recently announced the investment of more than 1.2 billion euros to promote the development of hydrogen valleys in our country. In recent years, these ecosystems have emerged as a key solution for accelerating the energy transition, integrating production, distribution and consumption into a single industrial ecosystem.
The energy sector has entered 2025 in the midst of an unprecedented change. The urgency of climate change and the EU’s commitments to decarbonisation have led to the creation of a regulatory framework that is constantly being redefined.
The transition to zero-emission mobility has positioned renewable hydrogen as a promising alternative in segments that are difficult to electrify. In this context, the possibility of refuelling with hydrogen in Spain depends largely on the development of an adequate infrastructure.
