Deployment of a Hydrogen Ecosystem in Mallorca
GREEN HYSLAND aims to deploy a fully-functioning Hydrogen (H2) ecosystemin the island of Mallorca, Spain, turning the island into Europe’s first H2 hub in Southern Europe. This will be achieved by producing green hydrogen from solar energy and delivering it to the end users, such as the island’s tourism, transport, industry and energy sectors, including gas grid injection for green heat and power local end-use.
HyEnergy helped to design and write the funding application for the project which was obtained a €10m EU grant, as well as a further €50m from public and private co-funding. HyEnergy will participate in Green Hysland via another subsidiary – HyEnergy Consultancy (Europe) BV, supporting the deployment of green hydrogen infrastructure locally, enabling access to hydrogen for some of the planned locations, as well as leading the development of business models and a regional roadmap for the Balearic islands.
Project Details
The project will also deliver a roadmap towards 2050that compiles a long-term visionfor the development of a widespread H2 economy in Mallorca and the Balearic Region, in line with the environmental objectives set for 2050. Indeed, hydrogen will help to increase the penetration of renewable energy in the Balearic energy system, demonstrating sector coupling and sectorial integration, and moving towards full decarbonization of the economy.
Finally, the GREEN HYSLAND demonstrations will provide Europe with ablueprint for decarbonization of island economies, and an operational example of the contribution of H2 towards the energy transition and the 2050 net zero targets. The development of replication experiences and business models are foreseen in five other EU islands (Madeira – PT, Tenerife – ES, Aran – IE, Greek Islands and Ameland – NL) and beyond (Chile and Morocco).
