2.5MW electrolyser for mobility

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. Its customer-focused portfolio of products and services is tailored to meet all consumer needs and requirements, whether at home or on the move. Petronor is leader in the development of sustainable mobility solutions with increasingly efficient, sustainable and low-carbon advanced fuels.

To achieve net zero emissions by 2050, Petronor is rolling out an integrated model of decarbonisation technologies based on greater efficiency, increased capacity for generating low-emission energy, the production of low-carbon fuels, the development of new solutions for customers, the circular economy and the promotion of innovative projects to reduce the industry's carbon footprint. To this end, Petronor will set up a 2.5 MW electrolyser to produce the first renewable hydrogen in the Basque Country, which is included in Project 3.1 H2 distribution logistics.

The electrolyser will service Petronor's own refinery and various companies and organisations in the vicinity. These include the Energy Intelligence Center and the first hydrogen refuelling station in the Basque Country, which will supply the Technology Park's own mobility logistics platform of light vehicles and buses.

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.
