Viscofan starts producing green hydrogen in Spain
In Spain, Strategic Energy Europe reported that green hydrogen production has successfully begun at Viscofan’s industrial facilities in Cáseda, Navarra.
The report noted that the initiative represents a pioneering step in the energy transition of the region’s industrial sector and is part of the H2OP project, developed by a consortium comprising Viscofan, Nordex Electrolyzers, the Navarre Association of Industry (AIN), and startup Uraphex.
The project aligns with the Government of Navarra’s strategy to position green hydrogen as a key energy vector for industrial decarbonization and competitiveness, it added.
The consortium installed and commissioned a 500 kW electrolyzer, designed, manufactured, and assembled entirely in Spain by Nordex Electrolyzers, together with a water treatment and recovery plant. Integration with Viscofan’s boiler system was completed in two months.
The system enables Viscofan to produce a continuous flow of 100 Nm3 per hour of renewable hydrogen, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 480 metric tons per year, the report added.
