10 MW Electrolyser

Project description

Petronor is transforming its industrial complex into multi-energy centres through cutting-edge projects that will reduce its own carbon footprint and potentially that of other industrial players in the region.

To achieve net zero emissions by 2050, Petronor is rolling out an integrated model of decarbonisation technologies based on greater efficiency, increasing low-emission power generation capacity, producing low-carbon fuels, developing new solutions for customers, fomenting the circular economy and driving innovative projects to reduce the industry's carbon footprint.

To this end, Petronor, together with Enagás and EVE, will build a 10 MW electrolyser in the port of Bilbao. The hydrogen produced with 100% renewable electricity and supplied by our company will supply one of the world's largest plants for synthetic fuels with zero net emissions. To manufacture these sustainable fuels, valid for any segment of the mobility sector, the only feedstock used will be hydrogen and CO2.

Impacto medioambiental

In the refining industry, H2 production is one of the most intensive sources of CO2 emissions, accounting for approximately 20% of all refinery emissions. Through this project, the use of renewable H2 to replace conventionally generated H2 will lead to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions in fuel production.
