Phyrene Project: Towards a transboundary green hydrogen ecosystem in the Pyrenees
The Aragon Hydrogen Foundation (FHa) continues to play a pivotal role in the European energy transition. Within the framework of the Interreg POCTEFA program, the PHYRENE project has emerged as a strategic alliance to decarbonize heavy-duty transport and foster a sustainable economy across the Pyrenean border.
This ambitious project connects 8 regions from Spain, France, and Andorra, creating a coordinated value chain that addresses the challenges of renewable energy in high-complexity logistics environments.
Strategic Milestones: From MUBIL to Transfiere 2026
The Foundation’s technical activity has been intensive in recent months, consolidating its position as a technological partner of reference:
- 5th Consortium Meeting at MUBIL Expo: During the event in Irún, the FHa led the technical sessions focused on the standardization of hydrogen refueling infrastructures (HRS) for the corridor, leveraging our specialized Infrastructures and testing capabilities.
- Transfiere 2026 (Málaga): The project was presented as a success story in public-private collaboration, showcasing the Foundation’s Technical Services for industrial investors looking to scale green hydrogen production in Southern Europe.
-
Territorial Cohesion: Progress has been made in defining the logistical nodes that will link production sites with international transport routes.

Frequently Asked Questions about the PHYRENE Project
What is the PHYRENE project and what is its main objective?
The PHYRENE project is a cross-border cooperation initiative within the Interreg POCTEFA program. Its goal is to deploy a renewable hydrogen ecosystem in the Pyrenean territory, connecting 8 regions across Spain, France, and Andorra to decarbonize heavy-duty transport and mobility in mountain areas.
Which regions are part of the PHYRENE consortium?
The consortium is composed of 8 strategic territories: Aragon, Basque Country, Navarre, and Catalonia in Spain; the Principality of Andorra; and the regions of Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie in France, along with the Pyrenean Working Community (CTP).
How does the Aragon Hydrogen Foundation assist companies in this project?
The Foundation acts as a technological partner and strategic consultant. We offer R&D project management and technical advisory services for companies looking to integrate hydrogen into their fleets or industrial processes, facilitating access to regulatory frameworks and European funding.
Why is hydrogen key for cross-border mobility?
Renewable hydrogen is the most efficient solution for the decarbonization of long-distance and heavy-duty transport crossing the Pyrenees. Unlike other technologies, it allows for long ranges and fast refueling times, which are essential for maintaining fluidity in international logistics corridors.
Where can one obtain advice on hydrogen technologies?
The Aragon Hydrogen Foundation offers a technological services portfolio that includes everything from laboratory testing and pilot plants to specialized training for professionals and public entities.
