Repsol has given the go-ahead for a 400 million euro investment to build an electrolyzer able to generate over 22,000 tons of renewable hydrogen each year at its Tarragona industrial site, Hydrogen Central reported. The energy multinational said the project will be developed jointly with Enagas Renovable, a firm in which Hy24 holds a majority stake.
According to Repsol, the project will create roughly 1,000 direct, indirect, and induced jobs, mostly local, throughout its different phases. The 150 MW electrolyzer will provide green hydrogen to the Ecoplanta under construction in El Morell, described as Spain’s first circular methanol plant, due to begin operating in 2029, as well as to other units at Tarragona.
Repsol describes the electrolyzer and the Ecoplanta as two strategic and complementary projects for the future of the Tarragona industrial complex. The Ecoplanta will convert non-recyclable urban waste into renewable methanol and circular products, while the electrolyzer will provide renewable hydrogen to support new production lines for fuels and lower carbon footprint products.
The renewable hydrogen will serve mainly as a raw material for manufacturing renewable methanol and other low carbon footprint products. Repsol estimates that this output will enable avoidance of as much as 250,000 tons of CO2 annually.
Javier Sancho, director of the Repsol industrial complex in Tarragona, said the new electrolyzer and the Ecoplanta represent a transformative industrial commitment for Tarragona. He described them as two strategic and complementary projects integrated into the industrial complex, incorporating cutting-edge technology and new production capacities meant to shape its future by boosting renewable fuels and low carbon footprint products. Sancho added that the company is in a new stage marked by decarbonization, circularity, and digitalization, which he said will allow it to keep generating employment, wealth, and social and economic value for the territory.
