The Green Hysland project, in which Calvera Hydrogen, CNH2 and the Aragón Hydrogen Foundation are all consortium members, set to run to the end of 2027.

Calvera Hydrogen, the Spanish National Hydrogen Centre (CNH2) and the Aragón Hydrogen Foundation are three of the consortium members of the collaborative Green Hysland project, the aim of which is to deploy a hydrogen ecosystem covering the entire value chain on the island of Mallorca, Spain, thereby making it the first hydrogen hub in south-western Europe. The initiative, funded through the European Commission's Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking programme, has announced that it will run for a further two years until the end of 2027.

The project is developing the necessary infrastructure for the production of green hydrogen from solar energy and its distribution to end users, such as the island's tourism, transport, industrial and energy sectors, including injection into the gas network for the generation of heat and green energy at the point of end use.

The roll-out of the Green Hysland project will provide Europe with a blueprint for the decarbonisation of island economies and an operational example of how hydrogen can contribute to the energy transition and the delivery of 2050 zero-emissions targets. Plans are in place to develop business models and replicate the project on five other islands in the EU and beyond, namely Madeira (Portugal), Tenerife (Spain), Aran (Ireland), the Greek Islands and Ameland (Netherlands), as well as in Chile and Morocco.
