Gabitel Engineering Selected for Green H2 Project in Spain
09.12.2024 By Tank Terminals - NEWS

September 12, 2024 [The Electricity Hub]- Spanish engineering specialist Gabitel Ingenieros said that it had been selected to provide its services for a 160-MW green hydrogen project and a planned electrolyser factory that China’s Trina Solar Co Ltd wants to build in the city of Huelva, southern Spain.

 

Trina, the Chinese green energy tech company, will invest EUR 160 million (USD 176.7m) in the project’s first phase to produce green hydrogen at a 30,000-square-metre (322.917 sq ft) site in the Huelva Business Park. According to Gabitel, the Huelva City Council and Trina Solar are already working on the expansion, so the second-phase project will span a further 44 hectares (108.7 acres) of land.

Trina Solar’s intentions to set up green hydrogen production in Huelva were announced earlier this year by the City Council, but the plans were not as fleshed out at the time. The Chinese solar and energy storage tech partnered with Spanish renewables consultancy Arbro on this pro

Gabitel said that its Renewable Energies division will design and develop the project, handle the permitting, and manage the associated infrastructure, such as water, gas, and electricity.

Construction of the first phase is set to begin in 2025, with operations planned for 2027. The plant will have an annual production output of 20,000 tonnes of hydrogen.

Trina Solar will also build an electrolyser factory in Huelva. Details about that project were not provided, but Gabitel said that it will engineer that facility as well.

Trina Solar aims to facilitate the transition towards a decarbonised economy by enabling the large-scale production of clean hydrogen by leveraging its proprietary technology. However, the technological advancements and scalability of these electrolysers warrant further scrutiny to assess their competitiveness and efficiency.

Trina Solar’s decision to partner with the Huelva City Council reflects a collaborative approach towards sustainable development. Through dialogue with local authorities, Trina Solar seeks to integrate its operations seamlessly into the existing business ecosystem while leveraging the region’s potential as a hub for clean energy innovation.
