- The plant is expected to have the capacity to treat 4.2 million cubic metres of water every year.
- The move is part of its EUR-3-billion (USD 3.2bn) Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley project.
Cepsa, the Spanish oil and gas group, is making plans to use recycled waste to power a green hydrogen plant that is to be constructed at its San Roque Energy Park in Cadiz, Southern Spain.
The water is to be taken from the Aguas y Servicios del Campo de Gibraltar future wastewater treatment plant. The plant is expected to have the capacity to treat 4.2 million cubic metres of water every year.
The plans also include additional R&D&I activities for the valorization, recovery and recycling of solid urban waste managed in Gibraltar.
Cepsa said this move is part of its EUR-3-billion (USD 3.2bn) Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley project. Located at the firm’s energy parks in Huelva and San Roque municipalities, the scheme is dubbed the largest of its kind in Europe.
Andalusian Green will consist of two green hydrogen production facilities, each with 1 GW of capacity, one in Huelva and the other in Cadiz. Production is scheduled to commence in 2026 and 2027, respectively.
In order to power Andalusian Green, Cepsa will invest EUR 2 billion in the development of 3 GW of wind and solar projects.
