In Spain, the Port of Alicante has taken a key step in its sustainability strategy with the launch of a Preliminary Market Consultation (PMC) to prepare for the future concession of a green hydrogen production plant. The initiative, dubbed PORTALI-H2, seeks to position the port as an energy benchmark in the Mediterranean, aligned with the decarbonization goals set by the European Union.
The process will be open until September 30, 2025, and aims to ensure that the project involves the participation of as many operators as possible.
With this initiative, the port of Alicante aims to position itself at the forefront of the energy transition in the Spanish and European port system, aligned with the objectives of the European Green Deal and the EU’s “Fit for 55” plan, which outline the roadmap toward climate neutrality.
The use of this mechanism is regulated by the Public Sector Contracts Law and is increasingly used to prepare complex tenders. In this case, the APA seeks to identify viable technologies, compare timelines and budgets, and ensure that the final plant design meets the needs of the port and its logistics environment.
