Cepsa and Fertiberia join forces to produce renewable hydrogen

Cepsa and Fertiberia have signed an agreement to jointly develop a large-scale renewable hydrogen plant in Huelva, using green energy and other renewable gases. Thanks to this alliance, both companies will be able to decarbonize their consumption by using green hydrogen, thus reaching the goal set for all of Spain by the end of the decade.

Two of Spain’s largest hydrogen consumers, Cepsa and Fertiberia, have signed an agreement to jointly develop a large-scale renewable hydrogen plant in Huelva, using green energy and other renewable gases.

A strategic partnership to meet hydrogen and biogenic CO2 needs

Cepsa and Fertiberia are now strategic partners in the development of a 1 GW electrolysis capacity in Palos de la Frontera, as part of the Green Hydrogen Valley of Andalusia. This valley will have a capacity of 2 GW, with a production of up to 300,000 tons in Cepsa’s energy parks.

The production of green hydrogen will start in 2026 and will be used for Cepsa’s and Fertiberia’s own industrial consumption, as well as for the manufacture of advanced biofuels, ammonia, AdBlue and sustainable crop nutrition solutions.

Industrial synergies between Huelva sites

The energy park La Rábida de Cepsa is adjacent to the Fertiberia facilities in Palos de la Frontera. The partnership will enable us to take advantage of all the existing industrial and operational synergies between the two sites, allowing them to be managed as efficiently as possible.

This agreement will allow Cepsa and Fertiberia to decarbonize their consumption by using green hydrogen, jointly reaching the target set for all of Spain by the end of the decade. Both companies will also consider producing renewable fuels in Huelva and other provinces in mainland Spain.

A circular economy of hydrogen and oxygen in Huelva

The alliance will allow the development of a circular economy of hydrogen and oxygen in Huelva. The construction of this infrastructure will be a pioneering engineering project, linking hydrogen producers to consumers to ensure a more sustainable, efficient and competitive energy supply. It will take advantage of the synergies between all the neighboring industries while guaranteeing their security of supply.

A step forward in Cepsa’s 2030 Positive Motion strategy

This new alliance is part of Cepsa’s 2030 Positive Motion strategy, through which the company is transforming itself to become a reference in the energy transition, leader in sustainable mobility in Spain and Portugal, as well as in the production of renewable hydrogen and advanced biofuels.

Air Liquide is accelerating its investment dynamic to respond to the profound changes in heavy industries that are being decarbonized. With projects linked to the energy transition bringing growth to 40%, Air Liquide is banking on Europe and the United States. Indeed, the group is planning significant investments in connection with the Inflation Reduction Act for the development of the green industry in North America. In Europe, the group is investing in decarbonizing industry by approving seven major industrial projects for a total investment of more than 1.8 billion euros.
The BioBéarn methanizer, the eighth of the TotalEnergies group in France, began producing biogas in January. It is expected to provide renewable electricity to approximately 30,000 homes per year and generate 200,000 tons of fertilizer products for agriculture. However, the installation aroused opposition from local residents, who were concerned about noise and odor pollution. Biogas is becoming increasingly important as an ecological alternative to fossil fuels, and the industry is aiming to produce 25 TWh of renewable gas by 2025 and 80 TWh by 2030.
